Reviews

The monthly magazine Die Literatur von 1915 says about one of her books : " C. von Dornau would be a bad mastermind if she could not let the pretty figurines of her dolls' box jumble around so that the reader's heart puppets with tension and yet she basically does has the reassured feeling: it must end well. "
