Impeccably written, this is a real treasure trove of imagination, nail-biting drama and characters so cleverly drawn that you feel you know every one of them personally. Inkworld is a marvellous place of magical realism, full of adventure, passion and excitement and you’ll feel utterly compelled to read this one and its sequels Inkspell and Inkdeath.
Inkheart the movie, released on 12th December 2008, stars
among others Helen Mirren, Eliza Bennett and Jim Broadbent and has been
made by the makers of The Lord of the Rings and The Golden Compass.
From the makers of The Lord of the Rings and The Golden Compass comes Inkheart, a major new movie based on the bestselling novel by Cornelia Funke.
Meggie loves books. So does her father, Mo, a bookbinder, although he has never read aloud to her since her mother mysteriously disappeared. They live quietly until the night a stranger knocks at their door.
He has come with a warning that forces Mo to reveal an extraordinary secret – a storytelling secret that will change their lives forever.
