She had a stint illustrating books, but soon began writing her own stories, inspired by the sorts of stories that had appealed to the deprived children she had worked with. During her social work she focused on working with children who came from deprived backgrounds. After finishing her studies, Funke worked for three years as a social worker. As a child, she wanted to become an astronaut and/or a pilot, but then she decided to study pedagogy at the University of Hamburg. Cornelia Funke was born in 1958 in the town of Dorsten in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany to Karl-Heinz and Helmi Funke.
