The Inkheart Trilogy

Description

Minstrels, thieves, a scar-faced fire-eater: Fantastic characters step into and out of the pages of an enchanted, ever-changing fairy tale in Cornelia Funke's internationally acclaimed Inkheart trilogy. Spinning stories within stories, the journey begins in Inkheart, when Meggie discovers she can blur the boundaries of a book through the simple power of spoken words. It's a power she uses to banish a murderous tyrant and free her mute, trapped mother. The potent sequel, Inkspell, returns the charismatic Dustfinger to his story, where he confronts his own creator, the author Fenoglio, in the desperate hope of changing his fate. To save his daughter, Meggie, and the Inkworld they have come to love, Mo must make a lethal deal in the gripping conclusion, Inkdeath. Collected in a handsome slipcase featuring the iconographic Inkheart cover art, this boxed set is an essential addition to every modern children's library: "a true feast," as Kirkus described it in a starred review, "for anyone who has ever been lost in a book."
