Cornelia Funke (children's event)
Massively popular writer for older children (although also with many adult readers; her work crosses over nicely), Cornelia Funke made a rare appearance at the Book Festival this year. With her boundless enthusiasm for stories she tells a packed auditorium all about the final installment to her Inkworld series and gives a sneak preview of her much anticipated new book, due out next year.
