I don't know if anyone's asked this already and I don't know if you'll answer, but one thing that always bothered me about the ending of Inkdeath was that we never got to see what happened to Farid. Does he ever come back to visit Meggie or Dustfinger again? Does he become a famous fire-dancer?
Cornelia Funke very famous, Dana. And he'll break the hearts of many girls traveling from village to village. I am currently writing the sequel to the Inkworld-books…morevery famous, Dana. And he'll break the hearts of many girls traveling from village to village. I am currently writing the sequel to the Inkworld-books which is set five years later and will have you meet Farid again too.(less)

The inspiration was first my own relationship with my father, then Atticus and Scout (in the original book:) and finally Brendan Fraser, who was my model for a character who is sometimes so boyish a father that his daughter Meggie does some mothering:)(less)

“Stories never really end...even if the books like to pretend they do. Stories always go on. They don't end on the last page, any more than they begin on the first page.”

“Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times?" Mo had said..."As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells...and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower...both strange and familiar.”
