More About the Author

Lene Kaaberbøl was born in Copenhagen in 1960, with suitable drama: the obstetrician had to rush from banquet and was still wearing his white tie and tails. She was 15 when her first two books were published, and since then she has written more than thirty novels and children's books. She has won several national and international awards for her fiction, and her work has been translated into more than 30 languages. At her recent nomination for the Hans Christian Andersen Medal, the IBBY Committee wrote: "She is incredibly skilled at constructing universes and shows remarkable loyalty to her stories and her characters. Lene Kaaberbøl's writing captivates the reader; her worlds draw you in, move you, make you laugh and cry and give you ample food for thought. And it is our assessment that her works have not just national and international potential, but the potential to become classics."

While fantasy is her preferred genre when writing for children and YA, there is nothing remotely fairytale-like about her crime novels for adults. The Boy in the Suitcase, written in collaboration with Agnete Friis, was called a "first rate thriller" by Michelle Wiener of Associated Press: "Written in that sparse, uniquely Scandinavian style sure to draw comparisons with a certain blockbuster trilogy (this is better), this story packs plenty of emotional suspense and interpersonal friction without veering into melodrama."

"I really enjoy writing in many different worlds - including our own - and for many different audiences. I sometimes feel it's the literary version of living in an auto camper: you can always change the view, and you're constantly meeting new people," says Kaaberbøl, who in real life lives in an old water mill in the countryside near Aarhus, Denmark, with her four dogs.

I LOVED this one! It was so interesting and it bought out the softer side of Cornelia. Some people think she's really mean, but this sort of shows you what's really inside her head. This is a must-have for W.I.T.C.H. fans.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing special, August 21, 2005

By 

Amy "Fairy Of Love & Peace" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews

This review is from: W.I.T.C.H. Adventures 3: Stolen Spring (Paperback)

This is really nothing special at all, it is 'wicth' after all, a series that is not at all 'good' in anyway to start with. The cartoons and drawings of the characters are poor, no artistic talent was put into the creation of this series. The books also feature the same poor art work as well, so again nothing special at all. Also one has to think and 'believe' the creators of 'witch' somewhat copied the whole concept otherwise, the girl 'will' looks and is alot like 'Willow' from Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and this will is a poor copy of something that is great, that being Buffy The Vampire Slayer series, which is maybe too much for children, who enjoy cartoons, so for them and for their parents, I would suggest strongly, against this poor talent stuff, and go with something much better, like The Winx Club.
