Ink Heart Triology Box Set (3 Books)  (English, Paperback, FUNKE CORNELIA)

A bookbinder hides a secret power: he can bring characters from his books alive just by reading the stories out loud. Cornelia Funke’s The Inkheart trilogy is a set of three books for children of all ages.

Summary of the Books

Meggie’s father never read her any stories. Meggie always wondered why, other children were read stories at bedtime, but not her. Her father didn’t seem to want to read stories out loud, she wondered why. He’d never discussed that with her, he couldn’t read them and that was that. He also never discussed her mother’s disappearance. Meggie thought her mother left them when she was a young girl. She was wrong. Her father didn’t read stories out loud because he had a strange power. He could bring characters from a story to life just by reading their tales out loud. One day, when Meggie was three, he read out loud from a book called Inkheart and released an evil villain named Capricorn, his assistant Basta and a fire-breather named Dustfinger. That same moment, Meggie’s mother was trapped inside the book. Nine years later, the villains seek out every copy of Inkheart and seek to destroy them so they can never be trapped inside that land. Capricorn wants to gain Meggie’s father’s powers for himself, and if he does, Meggie will have no way of finding her mother again. This collection brings together Inkheart, Inkspell and Inkdeath, all three novels in this fantasy series for children of all ages.
