Description

Tashi comes from a place very far away. He escaped from a war lord and flew to this country on the back of a swan. He's too cunning for the dragon and the wicked baron, and far too clever for giants, ghosts, witches and demons. And Tashi tells the best stories ever! When he comes face to face with sneaky strangers, ancient warriors, fearless kidnappers or even a haunted house. Tashi always knows what to do: stay calm, think hard and move fast!

"The Tashi stories make wonderful bedtime reading aloud for children ages 5-12." --Wall Street Journal

Author Bio

Anna and Barbara Fienberg write the Tashi stories together. When Anna was a child, Barbara read bedtime stories to her and they would travel to all the secret places in the world, through books. They started making up the Tashi stories when Barbara remembered how, when she was a child, she used to tell tall stories, creative fibs . whoppers! And kids would crowd around, dying to hear her latest tale. Anna and Barbara talked about a character like her - someone who told fantastic stories - and over many cups of tea they cooked up Tashi.

Kim Gamble has created wonderful illustrations for many picture books, including the Tashi series, The Amazing Tashi Activity Book, The Hottest Boy Who Ever Lived and the Minton series. You might also like his book You Can Draw Anything.
