Devika asked Cornelia Funke:

Hello Cornelia, I know I'm stating the obvious, but i really do LOVE YOUR BOOKS A LOT . In fact, I'm so thankful to you, because the Inkheart trilogy is what got me started on reading (I'm a complete book nerd now). Here's my question: Which character did you enjoy writing the most in the Inkheart trilogy, which one is your favourite and which one do you identify with the most ? (<3 Dustfinger xD)

Cornelia Funke I am so thrilled I made you a book addict, Devika!:) As for the Inkheart characters- yes, Dustfinger is definitely a favorite, but I LOVE to write many of them (I am currently writing a sequel and it's so wonderful to meet them all again) Elinor is as much fun as Fenoglio! And I love the Black Prince! And Mo and Resa and Brianna and Violante and of course Meggie! So...it's en ensemble piece - a story for an orchestra you could say!:)

Rosangela asked Cornelia Funke:

I saw Inkheart's movie and I knew right away that I needed to read that book. Of course, I fell in love with Inkspell and I still have to read Inkdeath. I just want to know how did you get that amazing idea? People who can read and take characters out of books! It's so simple and so perfect and you don't know how badly I've been wishing to do that my whole life!
