Goodreads asked Cornelia Funke:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Cornelia Funke My most recent book is THE GOLDEN YARN which was so far only published in German, but will soon be in many languages (hurrah!:) It is the 3rd book of my MirrorWorld series (which will probably include 6 books) and it is inspired by Russian, Ukrainian and other fairy tales from that region of the world (It travels as far as Kazakhstan) I based MirrorWorld loosely on the history of our 19th century, around 1860 to be more exact and I intend to travel once around the world with these books - if I live long enough to do that:)
