Elisa asked Cornelia Funke:

Hey Cornelia, I am such a big fan of you and your book Inkheart! :) Even though he is one of the bad guys, I‘ve always loved your descriptions of Basta because I could always imagine him so well. This might sound a bit weird, but I was thinking a lot about Bastas hair colour because it is not explicitly mentioned in the book. In my head it is very dark to almost black, what does it look like in your head? :) THANKS <3

Cornelia Funke he has black hair, Elisa. And he alwasy makes me sad, because he has such a twisted heart and such cruelty towards others- because it was done to him before. But have no illusions- he only knows how tu hurt. He feels no compassion

Catherine asked Cornelia Funke:

Hi Cornelia. I found out about your books after I saw the movie and learned that it was indeed based on a book (which the best movies are ;-)). I read Inkheart a couple times, and wanted to know more about Mo and Meggie's adventures with the Inkworld and was excited when I discovered it was the first in a trilogy. My question for you is where did you get the inspiration for the world and characters (Dustfinger Basta)?

Olivia asked Cornelia Funke:

Hi! First of all, I love your Inkworld trilogy so much! They are one of my favorite series ever, and I have read all three books so much the covers all all taped together and falling apart! My question is: Do you know when your Ink-and Mirror book that you are writing is coming out yet? In English? Also, I love all the quotes at the beginning of each chapter. They are all brilliant.

A Goodreads user asked Cornelia Funke:

Hi Cornelia. I always thought it was interesting how Capricorn as a villain gives way to the Adderhead as the antagonist of Inkspell and Inkdeath, rather than having a continuous Voldemort-esque force opposing Meggie etc. Did you originally plan to have Capricorn as the 'main' villain throughout all of the Ink series? Or did you plan for there to be a different villain for both the real world and the Inkworld?
