What if you had the ability to bring a book to life? In Cornelia Funke's book Inkheart, both father and daughter have the ability to do just that. Based on the premise that a gifted storyteller, otherwise known as a “silvertongue,” has the power to bring a tale to life, Funke populates her stories with the stuff of myth and the magical realism of fantasy grounded in everyday life.
Here Funke talks about the creative process she used in coming up with her tale.
What kind of potential do you see in a book like this for teachers who want to encourage writing and reading? How would you use it in your classroom?
If you could bring a story to life, what would it be?
