“As I am also an illustrator, I see my story worlds quite clearly,” says Cornelia Funke, “but book illustration is not a visual tool that’s used nowadays as extensively as it was in the 19th century. This is the first time the exquisite aesthetic and textural details and beings from Funke’s books have been manifested and portrayed exactly as the author envisioned them. The internationally acclaimed author has traditionally used words on the page to create the elaborate worlds in her more than 20 fantasy and adventure books, but in 2012 Cornelia Funke tapped into a new dimension with Mirada Studios, bringing the fairytale-inspired world of her Reckless and Fearless novels to life, visually and experientially, through an iPad app.Īudiences can now immerse themselves in Funke’s otherworldly settings – accessing alternate realities with the touch of their fingers, traversing rolling storyscapes via scrolling, exploring environments with gyroscope-rooted POVs, and studying her fantastical, intricately rendered creatures up close, in 2D, 3D, and breathtaking animated illustrations. Renowned fantasy author Cornelia Funke and Mirada Studios have unveiled a new form of storytelling with MirrorWorld, a first-of-its-kind interactive “living storybook,” as a standalone iPad app exclusively at the iTunes App Store for $5.99.
