Guesty

Just read the Silver Tracks and the 12-year old I was when I first approached the Mirrorworld just can't help but thank you for this story — I hope I can write something like this one day, and as many others I'm thrilling for the last act! Thank you so much!

Hello Insa, Cornelia, and Guesty! I was just wondering what the process is of how Cornelia picks quotes for the Inkheart books. Are they gathered in a book before starting? Thanks and much love.

In your book "The Book No One Ever Read," I believe there is a grammatical (tense) error. "...That is very young for a book. But he thought that five years ARE an awfully long time to just sit on a shelf." I think it should be "IS an awfully long time". I love your books (including this one) and was surprised to see this error.

The film Ghost hunters on Icy Trail, fell under my radar as a film enthusiast but it was an absolute blast! I never expected how much I was going to enjoy it, having never read one of your books but now, I will be making my first order today! I feel it deserved way more recognition during its original release! I hope many more people will give the film a revisit!

Hello, Cornelia! I don't know if this question has already been asked, but, have you had any confirmations on the release date of the 5th book of the reckless series? I've read everywhere and I just couldn't find it. Ps: I really loved inkheart

Hello, I hope I'm not bothering you, but about two weeks ago I sent in a story for the website and I noticed it's still not on the site. I just wanted to make sure everything was okay? If maybe I need to send it in again?

This isn't a question. See I did everything in my power to avoid the Dragon Rider movie since the trailer drop as it never interested me and was a horrid adaptation of a book I held dear. Today, I just saw Twigleg from the movie for the first time. Why is he so UGLY in the movie!? Oh my  oodness! I knew it was bad, but my god... they didn't even get his orange hair right. So upsetting.

Hello! Long time fan, I just have a simple question that I feel I may have asked before, but I just want to make sure I do this right. I would like to post in your story section a story, of course, but it's a fanfiction. A dragon rider one, and I was wondering if that was okay? I don't know where you stand on that, and if it's not okay, I understand! Thank you!

Hello Cornelia, its your life long friends from Georgia! It has been ages since I have written to you. I read Inkheart to him as a baby. Not knowing he was ASD and wouldnt speak until nearly 5! Your books have created a love of the written word. Now Damien is talking, reading and making all A's in general education classes! He has flourished through reading. Your books played a vital role in our lives. Reading like Mo helped Damien speak! Its the magic of words! We are reading Inkheart again. Now he has a little sweet but fiery little sister named Aurora. I am so proud of you! A fourth book in Inkheart!

Hello. I have just found that you have a page after going down the rabbit hole of my memory. My memory was triggered because of a Bluebeard deep dive I did, and remembered the second book from the Reckless series I read 10 years ago (time sure does fly )

Dear Cornelia Funke, I really like all of your books that I have read so far. Some of the books that I've read are Ruffleclaw, Igraine the Brave, Prinzessin Isabella, and Käpten Knitterbart und seine Bande. They are all very funny! I love that you have such great girl characters in your stories.

Love, Anjali P.S. Can you please write more books for 9-10 year old girls?

When i was a little kid i loved reading every moment i could. No book has impacted me like inkheart. I just finished rereading the series again and cherished the new addition. After i read i am so thankful for your work and i would like to thank you again

Dear Cornelia! Your Ghosthunters book series has been my favorite since I was a kid. I reread the series every few years or so, and it still brings me joy! Please write more Ghosthunters, I'd desperately love to hear more stories. Also, I am an illustrator/ graphic novelist and its one of my dreams to adapt Ghosthunters to graphic novel format. I'd love to discuss that with you one day Most Sincerely, Sarah/GalacticTurnip

Hi Cornelia, I just wanted say thank you for your amazing work. The Reckless series and Inkheart books are some of my favourites I’ve ever read. I love your work and it’s inspired my to write my own as I’m an aspiring writer. I’ve completed a novel and some short stories and am currently outlining what I hope will be another novel. I’ve also been accepted into university to study creative writing and English literature there. Thank you so much for your influence.

Cornelia, I've lived among dragons and fairies for fifty years. Today, I finished one of your books. You do them justice. Thank you.

Gentile Cornelia, nella mia famiglia siamo tutti grandi ammiratori dei suoi libri. Mi chiedevo se inserirà anche una sezione in italiano sulla sua pagina e magari organizzerà anche qualche workshop per giovanissimi/giovani scrittori italiani nella sua tenuta a Volterra. Un cordiale saluto

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
