Who is Cornelia Funke?

0

Cornelia Funke is by many counts one of the most talented writers of children’s literature currently. Though she hasn’t yet approached the popularity of J.K. Rowling, several of her works are considered nearly on par with the Harry Potter series, and sometimes she has been referred to as the German answer to J.K. Rowling. Gifted at writing and illustrating books in the fantasy genre, Funke became even better known to American audiences in 2008 with the release of the film, Inkheart based on one of her most popular series.
