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!
Cornelia Funke
Dear Eva,
I believe that the world is woven from a thousand glittering story yarns and that all you have to do is listen, watch, taste and touch to find them. And then of course you have to find the right words to weave the yarn. Read them aloud - to make sure they sing!

Hallo Cornelia! Ich bin praktisch mit deinen Büchern grossgeworden - etwa Drachenreiter, Herr der Diebe, Kein Keks für Kobolde, später dann die Wilden Hühner und eben die Tintenwelt-Trilogie. Danke dir hab ich meine Liebe zum Lesen gefunden! (und bin jetzt Buchhändlerin) Meine Frage an dich: 1. Basieren die Charaktere Elinor Loredan und Fengulio auf realen Personen?
