Author Spotlight: Cornelia Funke
|
Cornelia Funke writes fantasy adventure stories for juvenile and teen audiences. Thief Lord, Inkheart, and Reckless are among her most popular books. As a young girl, Funke was unsure of her future career but knew she wanted to change the world. She enjoyed reading books and drawing pictures, so she eventually became an illustrator. However, she became bored drawing for other authors, so she began writing her own stories. This was her true passion. Once known as the German J.K. Rowling, she achieved worldwide popularity when her works were translated into English. With her literary success, she now has the means to change the world by promoting her favorite charities including African Millennium Foundation, Bearheart, and Bareface Autistic Art.
