Barbara Fienberg loved making up stories when she was a child. And
the stories continued for another thirty years after she became a
teacher librarian. Anna Fienberg says, 'My mother, Barbara, taught
at my primary school and I remember sitting spellbound in the
library with the rest of the class as she read to us, my mind
flying off to wherever she was going. For that hour she was no
longer my mother; she was the genie, the snow queen, the terrible
tiger and the gentle giant.
'No small wonder that Tashi sprang from the tall-tale country of
her childhood. It's been great fun exploring this world together,
cooking up characters, wondering with each new problem, what would
Tashi do?'
Anna Fienberg is an award-winning author of over forty books for
children and young adults. Kim Gamble was one of Australia's
leading illustrators for children. For many years Anna and Kim
worked together to create wonderful storybooks
"All children should meet Tashi. He can be their mentor on the road
to reading, feeding their imaginations with fantastic stories.The
Tashi stories have the evergreen qualities of classics."
--Magpies
"Imported from Australia, this rollicking omnibus unites seven
books, many of them bestsellers Down Under, and their popularity is
easy to understand. . . . Gamble's playful b&w drawings are an
integral part of the fun." --Publishers Weekly on The Big Big Big
Book of Tashi
