Inkheart Trilogy Collection

"I wrote Inkworld about my obsession with books. It is also a reflection on the question of whether we are all just characters in a tale—whether we can change it, and who writes it. It is a meditation on what we should fight for, on fascism, on being a child, and on being a parent. Then of course there’s the character Dustfinger, who always tells the story in his own way. Inkdeath (the third book in the trilogy) is very much my reaction to Pullman’s concept of death in His Dark Materials ."
