It was not until after this war that the Queen began to write for publication, although she had written verses secretly, and pasted them in a large scrap-book, from early childhood. Her first book was written in a peculiar manner. One day the national superintendent of schools came to her and said he wanted a book to offer as a prize at the end of the year to certain Romanian school children, and suggested that Her Majesty write one. The Queen entered into the plan with enthusiasm, and in three weeks had written a book of fairy tales, taking old Romanian legends as the foundation for her stories. The volume was such a success, and creating it gave the Queen such pleasure, that she turned to writing in earnest, and volume after volume has appeared, bearing the name "Carmen Sylva" on its title-page. One day in each month is now devoted to reading the Queen's books in the public schools of Romania, and they have been translated and retranslated into divers tongues until her pen has exceeded her scepter in power, and her fame as a writer has passed above her fame as a Queen.
