Tashi [antikvár]

About the authors Anna Fienberg says, 'My mother, Barbara, always read stories to me when I was little. At bedtime we'd travel to all the secret places in the world, through books. 'We both make up our own stories now, and Tashi began when Barbara was telling me how, when she was a child, she used to tell whoppers. Tall stories. Creative fibs. And kids would crowd around, dying to hear the latest tale. We talked about a character like her—someone who told fantastic stories— and over many cups of tea we cooked up Tashi.' Anna and Barbara Fienberg write the Tashi stories together, and Kim Gamble does the wonderful illustrations. For ten years Anna and Kim have been working together to make such wonderful books as The Magnificent Nose and other marvels. The Hottest Boy Who Ever Lived, the Minton picture books, the Tashi series, Joseph, and, soon, a full-colour picture book called There once was a boy called Tashi.
