THE CHILD OF THE SUN - ROYAL FAIRY TALES AND ES...

Carmen Sylva  when she discovered that I was writing  instead of laughing at me and being
ironical about my modest attempts at literature  encouraged me from the very first in every
way. She was getting old  her imagination was running dry  and she declared that mine had come
just in time to replace hers  which was a generous thing to say. She declared that it was a
happy and blessed discovery that I could hold a pen  and no end of kind and enthusiastic
things. She spurred me on to write  and each time I had finished a story she immediately wanted
to have it so as to translate it into German. Queen Marie of Romania about Carmen Sylva (Queen
Elisabeth of Romania)The history of the monarchy in Romania and of its four kings would be
incomplete without the story of the queen consorts  who seem to have been even more fascinating
personalities than the kings were. Especially the first two queen consorts  Elisabeth (Carmen
Sylva) and Marie of Romania  became famous as writers duringtheir lifetime. They both wrote in
their mother tongues  Elisabeth in German and Marie in English  and published many of their
books  not only in Romania  but also abroad  thus reaching a widespread readership  worldwide
publicity  and literary recognition.This affectionately collected  critically edited volume
comprises the most precious tales and essays by the queen consorts  either translated into
English (Carmen Sylva) or in the original English version (Marie of Romania).
