Episode 78 - Inkheart, by Cornelia Funke

What this episode covers

We’re on a metafiction binge! Inkheart by Cornelia Funke has characters, readers and writers galore - and they can’t seem to stop getting mixed up in one another’s worlds. We unpack the dark and often violent situations 12-year-old protagonist Meggie finds herself in, and ponder who is the ultimate Saddest Character. This is what happens when fairy tales and real life collide - a whole lot more sociopathy than you’d expect! Cozy up with your smelly marten and listen in. Note - Grace’s voice becomes allergy-ridden halfway through because we recorded over a couple days - enjoy?
