Hello, Could you please let me know if there will be a dutch translation of the colour of revenge? I read the first 3 Ink books as a child and they are still my favourite books. I am really looking forward to the 4th book! If there is no translation I can also read it in english, but since I have children myself now I would like to be able to read them the dutch version.

I first read Inkheart when I was 11. It was one of my dad's favorites, and it quickly became mine. Since then, I have read/listened to all three many times. Now, at 30 years old, I found a new release in my favorite series. I find it funny the story's theme of the power of words, and my excitement over new words writen and published almost 20 years later here in my own story. Thank you for being such a positive point in what is the majority of my life. To anyone who hasn't read the Inkworld series, please do. ^w^

I first read Inkheart when i was 12 years old, it was recommended to me by my literature teacher, and it is still to this day (im 25 now) my favorite series of books ever. There is no other book i have reread so many times, in such different periods of my life. But i will always remember fondly the first time, how in love i was with the characters and the world and how real and immersive it felt for a 12 year old me. These books taught me my current love for reading and fantasy worlds. I dont think i would ever stop thinking fondly about them. I am very grateful that you wrote this marvelous books.

Dragon Rider was such a monumentally important book to me during my childhood and teen years. Thank you so much

I love the Inkheart and Reckless series, and just an idea but it would be really cool if Cornelia wrote the Inkheart book but by Fegnolio? If she wrote the origional story? Ive always wondered what it would be like to read it

I just finished reading the Reckless series for the second or third time, I LOVE them. And because I was reading them again I was able to look deeper. Most importantly, will there be another book? The forth one ended on a cliff hanger. And if there will be, well. Since the Inkheart and Reckless stories are connected, it would be SO awesome if you brought them together. Would you ever do that? And Mo would be like “No way! We could use a mirror to go back!” and Jacob would be like “Holy cow! You can read stuff into existence!” It would be crazy. Also I really want to hear more of Nerron’s story, does he ever find love?

Dear Cornelia I love the Inkheart series and it made me an author. I was wondering if you wanted to see my work I'm not that good but I'm only 11. Inkheart spoke to me on so many levels. I cried when Dustfinger died and fell in love with him And you, you are a poetic masterpiece. I can't believe the opportunity you gave me to escape this boring world in to the Inkworld. Can you please write back then another one off the bucket list; meet an awesome author.

Hello Cornelia! I first read your Inkheart books when I was 11, and they have stuck with me ever since. They made me fall in love with writing, so much so that I chose to pursue it at university! I'm rereading the series before diving into The Color of Revenge, and the characters and story still mean so much to me. I'm also learning German, and I hope to one day read Tintenherz in its original language. Thank you so much for your beautiful writing, you remain one of my biggest inspirations as a young writer! Love from Bridget

hi! i was rewatching the pixar movie brave for a school assignment, and i noticed a lot of similarities to your 2004 picture book, "the princess knight." i was wondering what the basis, if any, for your story was, as i cant find anything about the origins of either the movie or the book on google. thanks a bunch, loved your books as a kid

Dear Cornelia, I own the first two Dragonrider books and the Inkheart series. I'm going to college soon for English/writing, hoping to become an author one day. You and the Dragonrider series inspired me to follow my dreams of writing. Forever A DragonRider. You're also my favorite author.

Hi Cornelia! I am new to your website, but not at all new to the wonderful stuff you write! I LOVE your Dragon Rider series. I first read it when I was 8. I am 12 now and I have re-read it 3 times since. I wanted to ask how do you plan your book series? And what is your favorite movie and book of all time? And (being a young writer myself) would you give me some writing advice? Thanks P.S: Your website is GREAT, by the way!

Hi Cornelia! I am a long time fan of yours, and I love your books. I remember reading Inkheart when I was 9, and being completely entranced by the world-building and the characters. I devoured it in a week, much like Meggie would have! Also, your website is fantastic! Looking forward to reading more of your books!

Growing up, Igraine the brave was my favorite book. Now that I have brain damage, I cant read a lot anymore, and my brain capacity isnt what it used to be. I return to Igraine for comfort, to enjoy the feeling of reading again, and how vast her world feels. It is so real and authentic to me. I would love if one day you released any more information or content about Igraine and her family.

Thank you! Kasper/26/ohio

Hi miss Cornelia!! Igraine the Brave is one of my favorite books. I had my papa read it to me over and over and still read it lots by myself now. Igraine's story makes me feel safe. She was a very good example for me about how she CAN be a knight, despite being a girl :0. It makes me very happy to read over and over. Have you ever thought of writing more to her story? It would make me sooo happy! Bunny

Hello! I wanted to start by saying what a huge fan I was of your work when I was younger, and now as a full time librarian I get to continue sharing your magic with even more children beyond myself. I did have one question related to a fanmail I believe I wrote to Cornelia when I was younger-- Did you use a translator for correspondence to English fanmail? I cannot find the letter I recieved back anywhere to confirm it was from Cornelia Funke, but I vividly remember the line at the top of the letter disclosing that it was a translated response. I know it's an odd question, but after all these years it's been bothering me.

i love you, cornelia. i'm a little past halfway thru your new inkheart book (dustfinger is greying in orpheus's new house). i got my local library to buy some (yea! i'm sure your other loving readers will be so happy.). the way the book is written i'm thinking you've set things up so u can write more of the story, which is a blessing. will u?

Hi Cornelia! Our class is starting your book, "Inkheart." We are currently inspecting the cover, and just by looking at it, we know it's gonna be good!

Hi again, Cornelia and Insa! I remember that you've said before that Cornelia loves The Once and Future King. I'm reading it right now and loving it, and I was wondering if she had a favorite character or part of the book? I find Lancelot to be a really interesting character.

Hi Cornelia! I just wanted to drop in and say how influential your books have been in my life. I learned I loved to read when I first checked out Inkspell (I didn't know about the first book until two chapters in). I kept reading it because of how beautiful the Inkworld was described. I promptly got the first right after and eagerly awaited the third for a couple years. I was 12 then, and now I'm 29 and working at a library. I have yet to find another author that quite compares to your narrative style, and storytelling. Thank you SO MUCH for being the writer that you are and for giving me my childhood.

Hi again! I just started reading the Inkworld trilogy, and I'm almost to the end of Inkdeath. Wow, I thought Dustfinger was awesome to begin with, but he is even more awesome since he came back from the dead! And Cheeseface is my absolute least favorite character ever! I liked Capricorn, he was cool, evil but still cooler than Moonface over there! I love these books too now! I think they'll hold me till Reckless 5. ~ Liora, a huge fan!

Hi all! I am loving the Reckless series so much! I was just wondering, do I need to read Glass of Lead and Gold prior to reading The Silver Tracks or is it more of a, like, novella type deal where it’s not a main plot book but more of a side story? Let me know what you think!

Hi! I have enjoyed the Dragonrider series so much...They are my most favourite books! I read them in the Dutch translation. I went to the bookshop a lot of times to ask if there was a third part. They said it was not written and also that it never would be written! So sad...So I was very surprised to discover that it was written and also that it already was done in 2021! But...my English is not good enough...(my mother helps me with this note). So my big question is: When will the third book be translated in Dutch? It is already 2024...Does that mean that it will never happen? Kinds regards, Gabriël.

I am over 30 now, but Dragon Rider, Thief Lord and the Inkheart Trilogy were some of my favourite books growing up. I started a book challenge this year that included, "Read a Book From a Author You Loved in Your Childhood". You do not understand my joy when I discovered you had recently made additions to some of those worlds! I am going to read 'The Colour Revenge' for my challenge, and hopefully save the Dragon Rider trilogy to read to my children when they grow up. Do you have any plans to do book tours in Canada? Would love to meet and get a book signed!

I am a teen and I absolutely love love love the Reckless series and also Ghost Knight! Your books have even inspired several of my own story ideas. I can't wait for Reckless book 5 to come out too! Is there any sort of set date for when it is supposed to come out?

Hey Cornelia, I have just loved your book dragon rider for I am a huge fan of dragons and I loved your book soo much that I wish there was another one so I humbly request you please write a book two for dragon rider because we all want to know what hap[pens next. Thank you soo much.

I just read the Reckless series. Loved it! Will there be another book or is it over?

Hello, my name is Oliver Yu, I am 12 years old and I absolutely love your Books, I have the entire set excluding the new one as a signed and hardback copy and I would be so happy if you could tell me where I could get a signed, hardback copy. Thanks, Oliver Yu (this is my foster carer's email address.)

Hi, Cornelia Funke. I’m a student of Hough Street School. I’m in a reading unit where we learn things about authors, and my partner and I chose you. I have a few questions for you that I wasn’t able to find in my research.

I was wondering which elementary, middle, and high school you went to?

When you were in school, did you have any favorite memories?

Did you have any pets when you were growing up and/or now?

Do you have any siblings other than Insa?

If so, how many and what are their names?

What was your favorite childhood book to read when you were growing up?

What’s your favorite book to read now?

Hi Cornelia! I’m a student at Hough Street School in Barrington, Illinois. Right now, we are doing a project on authors, and I chose you to study! I have a few questions for you that I wasn’t able to find in my research. Did you go to college? If so, where, and what did you study? What degrees do you have What is your favorite book that you’ve written so far? Thanks!

I believe I have listened to all your audiobooks. I am more active than author, but at 73 that may change.
