* The official Lethbridge-Stewart Novels Twitter account revealed that the author and creator of Lyndon Travers, Andy Frankham-Allen, came up with the name as a nod to P. L. Travers, the author of the ''Mary Poppins'' series of books. P.L. Travers' real name was Helen Lyndon Goff. The surname was given to the family of Margaret Travers, mother of Anne and wife of Edward, by Frankham-Allen.<sup>[1]</sup> | |||
