Cornelia Funke

The Observer | Review | Push one off the cliff
A charming piece on author Cornelia Funke, who is releasing Dragon Rider in August here in the U.S.
My favorite quote from the interview comes at the end: “Funke is a champion of reading aloud. She describes words as being like ‘butterflies pressed between the pages – the voice releases them’.”
