P.L. Travers wrote her first children's book in 1934. That book would later be adapted into the beloved Oscar-winning movie "Mary Poppins," starring Julie Andrews in the title role.

The Chelsea home once inhabited by Mary Poppins creator P.L. Travers hit the market for 4.85 million (or roughly $6.27 million) last month, according to Mansion Global .
