Anna Fienberg has written more than forty well-loved books for children and young adults. Her career began when she worked as an editor for School Magazine, a NSW literary journal for children, which published her first story. She went on to win many awards for her novels and picture books, including the Children's Book Council of Australia award for The Magnificent Nose and Other Marvels, the Victorian Premier's Prize for Ariel, Zed and the Secret of Life, and the CBCA Honour Book for Horrendo's Curse and Borrowed Light, the latter also chosen as an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults. Anna writes for all ages, and has been published all over the world. Her ever-popular Tashi books, illustrated by Kim Gamble, have inspired an animated series for television.
