[1915] -- 3 items on 1 book

notice in NY Times 1915-11-07 pBR436

"Carmen Sylva, the Queen of Rumania,^[a]^[b] is the author of a romantic story of love, ideals and adventure, entitled A Dreamer of Dreams, which the George H. Doran Company will publish this month. It will be elaborately decorated with especial reference to the holiday season."

review in The Scotsman -12-09 p2

The Dreamer of Dreams, illustrated by Edmund Dulac, 6/-, "is an allegorical story of much beauty, wonderfully told, of a youth in quest of the ideal. ... the Royal lady does 'Fiona Macleod' the compliment of heading almost each chapter with a quotation from his Celtic books, the style of which is recalled in that of The Dreamer of Dreams."

brief review in Manchester Guardian -12-14 p4, "Christmas Books", subheading Books for Children

The Dreamer of Dreams ... is a romantic fairy tale which may interest young girls, but it seems to us far too long-drawn-out, and far too grandiloquent in style for so simple a theme."

^ We say here that Marie became "Queen consort of Romania" 1914-10-10; elsewhere that Carmen Sylva was the same to 1914-10-10 and then "Her Majesty The Queen Dowager of Romania" until her death 1916-03-02. The newspapers evidently differ on who was the writer of these books.
I don't recall seeing the word "consort" or "dowager" in the newspapers, more items than the four noted here.
^ The Dreamer of Dreams is by Marie, not by the preceding queen consort (and more famous writer) Carmen Sylva. Decisively the book is dedicated to "my daughter Ileana". See Talk:Elisabeth of Wied#The Dreamer of Dreams (1915) for more info.
