Dear Cornelia Funke, It’s Darina again.) In last letter you still haven’t answered my question ... I wanted to ask, do you write the fifth book of Inkworld? I liked the books so much that I really want to continue!

Please, write back soon!

Dear Cornelia, It's a total discovery and thrill to discover — as I did today — that you are only 67, alive and writing!! I am so pleased to discover that you wrote a 4th volume of the Inkheart series in 2024. I hope there will be a Dutch translation of it, as I have read the trilogy to my daughter, night after night (who is now 10), and the third volume is one of her favourite books. I herewith hope to share with you how heartened I have been by reading your work and gifting it to others. Every volume is a powerful reminder of the importance of stories & story telling, human values and love for books. Thank you!

Dear Cornelia, I grew up with your books, and have kept you and your worlds in my heart as I’ve aged. Currently, I’m an public school Educator. I’m working in a beautiful program in Florida where I am in the English side of a Dual Immersion Program. My students are learning English and Spanish together, and are educated in both everyday. We just finished our school year last week, and I ended the year reading Inkheart to my kids. I wanted to know if there is a mailing address or an email where I can send Cornelia the illustrations and writings from my students. They fell in love with the Inkworld, and wanted to thank you!

Dear Cornelia, Insa (and Guesty), I would just like to express all my love for your writing and the Mirrorworld series. My mom gave me the first book when I was 10 years old in 2010 and since then, it has become my all-time favorite. I've read all the books multiple times, it's wonderful to think that I grew up with the characters, learned English by reading the books, and I'm currently eagerly waiting for book 5.

Hugs from Brazil!

Hello Dear Cornelia and Dear Insa. its been a long since I could visit this website; but now I'm back now! I used to leave messages a lot back then. I was 11 when I read Inkheart and a couple of years later I found out about this website. After all the terrible things that happened in Iran, hopefully I could survive all of them and now I'm 20! and I'm officially an Illustrator now, thanks to Ms. Funke, who I followed to guide me in the way of my passion for art and also stories. (I think my English hasn't improved a lot though).

I hope your day is as amazing as you are; Best wishes; Diana

Dear Cornelia Funke, thank you for your wonderful books, which gave me fascinating and unforgettable memories! I am so happy that you gave me this ink world and great heroes.️ Do you write the next book, the 5th part?

Hope to hear from you soon!️

Hi Cornelia, I just wanted to say how much the Inkworld series meant to me when I read it as a younger person. It was the subject of millions of my school projects and I would talk nonstop to my friends about the books. I think they got tired of me talking about Dustfinger and Mo so much. It still left such an effect on me. I rarely buy books to read more than once... yet there's a hardback cover of Inkheart in my bookshelf, and yes, it's been well loved.

Dear Cornelia, Thank you so much for making the Inkheart series! I'm currently reading Inkdeath and I've been reading it none stop! One of the things I love about this series is you get to know all the characters so well and you feel like you've known them all your life! Every time I feel sad I'll just come and pick up Inkdeath and lose myself in the book so thank you so much for creating such a wonderful series of books. Love, Peggy

Dear Cornelia, I just wanted to post a message to thank you for giving the Inkworld to me! It’s been 8 years since I first read Inkheart, I’ve grown up with the series and I love it just as much today as I did when I read it first (I must confess this is quite obvious when you look at my copy of the book, it’s in an absolute state!!). I’ve read hundreds of books in my life so far, and very few have stood out to me like yours have. Elinor has remained my favourite character, I aspire to be like her when I’m older! I’m learning how to speak German now, and my goal is to someday read Tintenherz in its original language!

Hello Cornelia! I just wanted to tell you how much your Mirrorworld series means to me! I typically reread the whole series every one or two years, switching up between the original and updated versions of the first two books. Recently I got one of my coworkers to try the series as well, and he loved it! We are both anxiously awaiting the fifth book now. It has been such a unique and special experience for me to grow up with Jacob and Fox, I was quite young when I read them for the first time, and now I’m just as old as they are! Please take care, and know that there are fans who are very much looking forward to your work!

Dear Cornelia, I have read all your books published in French. It's been a very long time since the last volume of the Reckless series was published... but still not in French. Please remember that your fans enjoy reading your work in French as well.

Hello Insa, Cornelia, and Guesty! I have a question regarding an upcoming book. A friend of mine who lives in Germany says his cousin might be working with Cornelia on a children's book. Is this true? If so I'm so excited to hear we'll be getting more books coming soon! Does it have a title yet? Love, K.

Dear Cornelia, I read your Inkheart book and I absolutely loved it ,

I am going to be starting Inkspell soon. At the end of the Inkheart book there is a quiz and a few other things, including a riddle-me-ree. It guides to go on your website on to the "Secrets Box" with the answer to the riddle. I was wondering where the secret box is, on your website as I could not locate it? PS: I think the answer is FENOGLIO. looking forward to reading your other books

Dear Cornelia, Your Inkheart series is one of my absolute favorites! Me and my best friend started reading this series and have been obsessed ever since! We were wondering (and hoping!) if you where going to be writing another book. Kari

Hello! My friends and l just finished the Inkheart 4 books, we love them and we are wondering if there a fifth book in the making?

Are you going to write another book in the Inkheart series? I Love Love Love it️

Dear Cornelia, I’m a retired school librarian. Have loved all your books ️ and always suggested them to my students. The Inkheart and Dragon Rider series were always favorites. I personally love the Reckless series and just finished it for the second time. Is book 5 a possibility? My fingers are crossed! Thank you so much for what you give to your readers! We become life long fans.

Hey Cornelia! I've just finished Inkheart and now am onto Inkspell and Inkdeath Can't wait! Love, Niamh, a bookworm

Dear Ms. Funke, I am unsure whether you will read this or if this is even the correct place to put this but I simply wish to say thank you. Thank you for writing a book like Igraine the Brave. I read that book as a little girl so many times and it made me feel that I didn't need to be a damsel in distress I could be a knight. And Being a knight and being brave made me no less intelligent, vulnerable or kind. Thank you for my childhood

Dear Cornelia, I want to thank you for sharing your beautiful worlds with us. I have been a fan for a very long time. My grandma and I would listen to your books all the time the Ink series were the last set we listened to together. They hold a very warm place in my heart. Thank you for being a part of the memories I hold so dear.

Just read the Silver Tracks and the 12-year old I was when I first approached the Mirrorworld just can't help but thank you for this story — I hope I can write something like this one day, and as many others I'm thrilling for the last act! Thank you so much!

Hello Insa, Cornelia, and Guesty! I was just wondering what the process is of how Cornelia picks quotes for the Inkheart books. Are they gathered in a book before starting? Thanks and much love.

In your book "The Book No One Ever Read," I believe there is a grammatical (tense) error. "...That is very young for a book. But he thought that five years ARE an awfully long time to just sit on a shelf." I think it should be "IS an awfully long time". I love your books (including this one) and was surprised to see this error.

The film Ghost hunters on Icy Trail, fell under my radar as a film enthusiast but it was an absolute blast! I never expected how much I was going to enjoy it, having never read one of your books but now, I will be making my first order today! I feel it deserved way more recognition during its original release! I hope many more people will give the film a revisit!

Hello, Cornelia! I don't know if this question has already been asked, but, have you had any confirmations on the release date of the 5th book of the reckless series? I've read everywhere and I just couldn't find it. Ps: I really loved inkheart

Hello, I hope I'm not bothering you, but about two weeks ago I sent in a story for the website and I noticed it's still not on the site. I just wanted to make sure everything was okay? If maybe I need to send it in again?

This isn't a question. See I did everything in my power to avoid the Dragon Rider movie since the trailer drop as it never interested me and was a horrid adaptation of a book I held dear. Today, I just saw Twigleg from the movie for the first time. Why is he so UGLY in the movie!? Oh my  oodness! I knew it was bad, but my god... they didn't even get his orange hair right. So upsetting.

Hello! Long time fan, I just have a simple question that I feel I may have asked before, but I just want to make sure I do this right. I would like to post in your story section a story, of course, but it's a fanfiction. A dragon rider one, and I was wondering if that was okay? I don't know where you stand on that, and if it's not okay, I understand! Thank you!

Hello Cornelia, its your life long friends from Georgia! It has been ages since I have written to you. I read Inkheart to him as a baby. Not knowing he was ASD and wouldnt speak until nearly 5! Your books have created a love of the written word. Now Damien is talking, reading and making all A's in general education classes! He has flourished through reading. Your books played a vital role in our lives. Reading like Mo helped Damien speak! Its the magic of words! We are reading Inkheart again. Now he has a little sweet but fiery little sister named Aurora. I am so proud of you! A fourth book in Inkheart!

Hello. I have just found that you have a page after going down the rabbit hole of my memory. My memory was triggered because of a Bluebeard deep dive I did, and remembered the second book from the Reckless series I read 10 years ago (time sure does fly )
