From The Independent archive: Cornelia Funke delights over a masterful and richly drawn story that fed her for many yearsI have loved so many books in my life that it always surprises me how easily the answer comes when people ask me about my favourite book. There is no doubt in my mind, although the question summons many beloved titles. It is The Once and Future King by TH White: the book I would take to the island; the book I want by the side of my deathbed; the book I wish I had written.

One of my proudest moments as a parent was when I realized that I had successfully convinced my kid that books prominently featuring dragons are, objectively, extremely cool and good. Now, she’s only 7, and there’s plenty of time for her to decide that mom is a massive nerd and that her adolescent rebellion will be getting really into tennis or something. And fair enough! She’s got to walk her own path.

In June 2023—six months after the release of his Oscar-winning, stop-motion, antifascist-fable version of Pinocchio—Guillermo del Toro found himself speaking to an audience at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, an underground-comix-influenced, hand-drawn-looking cartoon feature, had just premiered at the festival, and two big-budget animated studio pictures released earlier that year, The Super Mario Bros.

Through the ages, some tales have spread their seeds like trees, creating forests of imagination. Fairy tales often have that quality. But I doubt that Carlo Collodi, the author of the 1883 novel Pinocchio, would like his story to be called a fairy tale.

Meine Kinderbuchfigur Lola entdeckte einmal das Wort Noteingang und dachte Folgendes: "Notausgang, dieses Wort kannte ich natürlich. Das steht ja in allen möglichen Gebäuden, wo sich Menschen versammeln, und meistens gibt es dafür auch ein Zeichen, diese kleine grüne Person, die einem Pfeil hinterherläuft. Ein Notausgang zeigt, wo man rauslaufen soll, wenn man in Not ist. Ein Noteingang dagegen würde zeigen, wo man hineinlaufen könnte, wenn man keinen Platz mehr hätte, an dem man sicher wäre.

"The Wild Chickens", "Dragon Rider", "Lord of Thieves" – did you devour Cornelia Funke's books in your childhood and associate them with nostalgia and positive memories? How nice that this year, "The Color of Revenge", a fourth volume of the exciting Ink World series, was published.

Fall marks the start of cozy season—mugs of tea, oversized sweaters, candlelight, and apple cinnamon baked goods abound. It is also a season of nostalgia, as the changing leaves remind us that time is passing and the abundance of summer is fading, whether we want it to or not. As the days grow shorter and colder, I find myself craving the comfort of the well-loved books of my childhood. The books below are full of warmth and magic, perfect to spend an afternoon getting lost in.
