    About this ebook

    Uncle Tiki Pu is in terrible trouble with the War Lord, and Tashi must rely on the help of a phoenix—by a beautiful creature with eyes of crystal and tail feathers of gold—to save him and his family. Then Princess Sarashina’s sister is told she must marry a man who is sneaky and cruel instead of the good, kind Cha Ming who loves her best of all. How will Tashi persuade the powerful emperor to change his mind? It takes more than courage to deal with warlords and emperors, but Tashi always has a clever idea and something useful in his pocket.

      Tashi and the Phoenix - Anna Fienberg

      What do you know about the Phoenix – apart from the fact that it’s hard to spell?

      Did you know that people were talking about this astonishing bird as long ago and far away as Ancient Egypt? They believed that the Phoenix was first seen in Arabia and that it never lived for less than 500 years. Towards the end of its life, so the story went, it would build a nest of spice branches and set it alight, dying in the flames. Then, a new Phoenix would arise from the ashes.

      People in China and Japan believed that the arrival of a Phoenix was the sign of a new age, or the birth of a great emperor. Just imagine, for thousands of years people from Egypt to Japan and all the countries in between, keeping their eyes open for a glimpse of this fabulous Phoenix!

      ANNA and BARBARA FIENBERG

      ANNA and BARBARA FIENBERG write the Tashi stories together, making up all kinds of daredevil adventures and tricky characters for him to face. Lucky he’s such a clever Tashi.

      KIM GAMBLE is one of Australia’s favourite illustrators for children. Together Kim and Anna have made such wonderful books as The Magnificent Nose and Other Marvels, The Hottest Boy Who Ever Lived, the Tashi series, the Minton picture books, Joseph, and a full colour picture book about their favourite adventurer, There once was a boy called Tashi.
