Adora Casuneli

Adora Casuneli was born in Lugoj, a town in western Romania, growing up in a house with a great-grandmother famous for her fragrant dishes. Here she had her first contact with legends, and folk tales told in the evening as bedtime stories. Since then, she has learned about culinary reinterpretation, adapted and flavoured mixtures with all kinds of spices, preserved from the good times or received "from the other side", to make up for the shortcomings of the communist period.After finishing school, she moved to Bucharest and now lives in Zurich with her husband and her impressive shoe collection.Adora writes for children "Up-to-date" who know how to choose what they read and has five passions: the music of the '80s, Russian SF authors, shoes, children's books and sweets. One night Nimurel appeared to her in a dream and showed her all the wonders of the Magica Myristica Forest.It was strange at first, but it didn't last long, and Adora found herself in a fascinating world, full of magic, enchanting aromas and astonishing characters. She decided to put the story on paper, and that's how the book "Nimurel and the Children of Myristica" was born - the first in the Nimurel series - a fantasy chapter book for children aged between 8 and 12.When she's not writing children's books, she works in marketing and creates commercials, or buys shoes, drinks green tea and imagines fragrant recipes to her liking.

What do you pack when you have only six minutes to leave?

I don't know if you've ever been challenged with a question like this. But if you want to know why I faced such a dilemma, you might need to know a few facts about this tricky situation.

Silence reigned over the orphanage. It was deep in the middle of winter, and the snow was falling with shining flakes, heavy snow that turned into a blizzard as if a giant pillow exploded in the sky.

For it was a cold night, and Hector, the dorm master on duty, had already turned off the lights. All the children were dreaming peacefully, wrapped in thick blankets like sardines in a can.

I mean, yeah . . . all. But not quite everyone.
