Tashi

Jack's new friend, Tashi, comes from a faraway land, escaping from a war lord to come to Australia with many imaginative stories to tell.

Tashi, Jack's extraordinary imaginary friend, is a gnome-like character who comes from a place far away. In this first of a series, Tashi tells of being sold to a warlord and escaping with the help of a swan.

Children's Literature

In this first volume of the "Australian Easy-to-Read" series, Jack tells his parents about his exciting new friend, an elf-like boy named Tashi, who has some harrowing but satisfying adventures with a dragon. The many black and white drawings should encourage beginning readers who are just beginning to attempt slightly longer books.

Anna Fienberg has more than 20 children’s books to her credit. Barbara Fienberg is the coauthor of the Tashi series. Kim Gamble is a book illustrator.
