I love the Funke quote-- how true that well-written characters are "felt". They often stay with us for a while, don't they? Thanks for visiting me @ The Key to the Gate!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading,

Any time, Rebecca, I love visiting your blog, always find something interesting.
DeleteI am happy you like the quote. That is the main reason I post some every week. I used to write them into a nice little book and enjoyed visiting them from time to time but this way we can all enjoy them. Glad Cornelia Funke "spoke" to you. She is from the same country as I am. :-D
Have a nice weekend,
