Tashi and the Big Stinker

0.0

A while ago Anna and I decided to draw a map of Tashi's village, just for fun. We know that the Wicked Baron’s house is down by the river and that Wise-as-an-Owl lives on the edge of the village. ‘What about Chintu? said Anna, as she marked in his castle. ‘It’s a long time since we had a story about Chintu the Giant. ‘Yes I wonder what he’s been up to. You do remember that Chintu has a brother who is an even greater menace that he is? I asked. ‘So he does! Let’s make him really greedy and gross. And that’s exactly what we did. ANNA FIENBERG The giant just lifted the roof off,scooped up a pig and gobbled it down. Chintu the giant’s Only Brother will eat everything in the village unless Tashi can stop him…and things go terribly wrong when a stranger appears with a magic flute. In the face of trouble Tashi acts fast. About The Author Anna and Barbara Fienberg write the Tashi stories together, making up all kinds of daredevil adventures and tricky characters for him to face.
