Before I ask my question, I'd just like to say I LOVE the InkWorld trilogy. I read them back in fifth grade and will be reading them again! I'd just like to know, where did you get your inspiration to write them? I always like to know how authors get inspired to write their books! p.s.: I heard you're making a sequel to Dragon Rider. Super excited about that!!!
Cornelia Funke
my main inspiration for the Inkworld books is the fact that I am a book eater and like all of us, always felt that the characters in a book become friends and companions like real people - sometimes even more, as the author allows us to look straight into their hearts. Inkworld is also about the question, most of us ask at some point: are we all characters in a story (do we each have one to tell?) and then.....there is so much more that showed up while I was writing it:) The books are also about the love between father and daughter, about the beauty and the terrors of this world etc etc etc

Dear Funke, I love your books!! Especially the Ink-trilogy and The thief lord. Here comes my question: in a previously answer you said that the sequel of Ink-trilogy will be published in English in 2018. Do you have any idea when it will be published in Dutch? Thanks, Strawberry

I've finished reading the Inkdeath, and I'd like to say I thought it was one of the best books I've ever read. I am trying to write for fun, and I wanted to ask: How did you think up of your character's names and the settings in the Inkworld? Your books are awesome, by the way.

?Ich habe zwar keine Frage, wollte mich aber einfach mal für all die wunderbaren Bücher bedanken, die Sie geschrieben haben!! "Die Wilden Hühner" liebe ich immer noch abgöttisch, ebenfalls "Hände weg von Mississippi" und viele andere Geschichten. "Drachenreiter" lese ich momentan noch einmal, schön mal wieder in Bücher einzutauchen, die ich vor gut 8 Jahren verschlungen habe! Vielen Dank für all diese tollen Bücher!
