Hallo Frau Funke, erstmal vielen Dank für Ihre Bücher! Schon in der Grundschule waren Sie meine Lieblingsautorin und in den letzten fast 20 Jahren hat sich das nicht geändert. Ich greife immer noch gerne zu Igraine Ohnefurcht, Potilla oder Drachenreiter. Zu letzterem habe ich eine Frage: Warum heißt Lung im Englischen Firedrake? Mir scheint das ein viel zu aggressiver Name für den gutmütigen Lung... LG, Stella :)
Cornelia Funke
weil LUNG auf englisch LUNGE heissen wuerde:) Meine wunderbare Uebersetzerin Anthea Bell hat dann Firedrake vorgeschlagen und ich habe mich inzwischen sehr an den Namen gewöhnt:)

Hi! The Inkheart trilogy is a series which never continues to amaze me, no matter how many times I re-read it . It has shaped my world more than any other book has ever managed to . And as someone who aspires to write books , I just wanted to know - Where do you get your inspiration from? And how do you shape your ideas into wonderful worlds and books which leave us mesmerised ? Thank you!

I finished your Inkheart trilogy a couple of winters ago, I believe, and I enjoyed it very much; in fact, seeing that there might be another book made me very excited! :) What was your inspiration for the glass men in the Inkworld? I've never read about any beings like them.
