Note:
- Written by the last queen of Romania after a successful American tour and after the 1927 death of her husband Ferdinand I, which removed her from diplomatic role: "As queen, she was very popular, both in Romania and abroad. In 1926, Marie and two of her children undertook a diplomatic tour of the United States. They were received enthusiastically by the people and visited several cities before returning to Romania. There, Marie found that Ferdinand was gravely ill and he died a few months later. Now queen dowager, Marie refused to be part of the regency council which reigned over the country under the minority of her grandson, King Michael." --Wikipedia
- Reviewed in several US newspapers (and magazines probably) • offered "with a friendly and affectionate prefatory letter, to the children of America" --capsule, Hartford Courant 1929-09-29 pF8 • Marie takes the American girl "in pleasant wanderings from mountain to sea and helps her to learn of Roumanian life, customs and legends. ... When she comes back to America, the little girl brings with her a love for the people of Roumania, and that is what the Queen of Roumania had in mind when she wrote the book." --F.A.B., St. Louis Post-Dispatch -11-12 p17, in "Of Making Many Books" by John G. Neihardt
