"Carmen Sylva, the Queen of Rumania, 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."
