Cornelia's Books
"Taste every word, Meggie, whispered Mo's voice inside her, savor it on your tongue. Do you taste the colors? Do you taste the wind and the night? The fear and the joy? And the love. Taste them, Meggie, and everything will come to life." (Inkheart)
Do you also have a box like Meggie's box in Inkheart? A treasure chest to hold all your favourite books? As you have come here to Cornelia's website, we assume that some of her stories are in your book box as well.
If you believe in dragons and dream of riding on one of their silverbacks, you've probably read Dragon Rider, the story of the dragon Firedrake, who sets out with the brownie girl Sorrel and the orphan Ben to find the Rim of Heaven, the mythical home of all dragons.
Do you dream of being grown-up, like Scipio, the Thief Lord, does? Do you dream of living in the City of Water, in Venice ... the place that becomes the perfect hideaway for the two brothers Prosper and Bo, who, after their mother's death, have run away from their hometown to escape their horrible aunt and uncle.
Have you ever found a glassman sitting on your bedside locker, a fairy or even a horned marten? Then you probably share that special gift with bookbinder Mo and his daughter Meggie - the art and magic of reading aloud. Then you will be familiar with the Inkworld, you will know Dustfinger, Farid, Resa, Capricorn, Basta, the Adderhead and all the other characters of Inkheart, Inkspell and Inkdeath.
If you have more dreams, have a look at our list of Cornelia's books. Maybe you will find a story, that tells your very own dream.
