Cornelia Funke

Cornelia Funke
Reality is a fragile thing.
Cornelia Funke
He wants to be grown-up. How different dreams can be! Nature will soon grant your wish.
Cornelia Funke
My son always says I like very weird music.
Cornelia Funke
Second, there are so many magical places in books that you cant go to, like Hogwarts and Middle Earth, so I wanted to set a story in a place where children can actually go.
Cornelia Funke
