She wrote numerous plays, poems, novels, and stories many of which have been adapted into legends and traditional mythologies of central Europe.

Robinson, this book also includes the stories of Alma Strettell who collaborated with Sylva on a number of traditional Romanian-French folk songs and folk tales, including this first edition book.
