Anna Fienberg AM is a bestselling and multi-award winning Australian author of books for children and young adults including The Magnificent Nose and Other Marvels, Ariel, Zed & the Secret of Life, The Witch in the Lake. She has won numerous awards, including the CBCA Book of the Year Award and the Aurealia Award for Best Children's Short Fiction. With her teacher-librarian mother Barbara Fienberg, she is the bestselling author of the Tashi series, which has sold over one million copies worldwide and has been translated into 16 languages. Her book Horrendo's Curse was an Honour Book in the Younger Readers category in the 2023 Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Book of the Year awards.

Anna and Barbara Fienberg write the Tashi stories together. When Anna was a child, Barbara read bedtime stories to her and they would travel to all the secret places in the world through books. They started making up the Tashi stories when Barbara remembered how, when she was a child, she used to tell stories, creative fibs... whoppers! And kids would crowd around, dying to hear her latest tale – and over many cups of tea they cooked up Tashi!
