Sarah Brennan is the author of the popular Dirty Story series, the best-selling Chinese Calendar Tales, and the multi-award listed Storm Whale. Born in Tasmania, Australia, she grew up on the slopes of Mount Wellington surrounded by bush animals, goats and exotic poultry. She also played the bagpipes (at the very bottom of the garden) and wrote lots of stories and poems which she kept in a big pink plastic bag! Sarah worked for ten years as a medical lawyer in London before moving to Hong Kong in 1998. She lives in Hong Kong with her French husband, two daughters and an opinionated Maltese Shi Tzu terrier, visiting schols throughout China, Singapore, the UK and Australia, as well as the US and Canada by Skype.
“Sarah Brennan’s work is a meeting between traditional Asian
narratives and the universal taste of children for graphic stories.
The tale-telling gifts shown in these books, along with the
exuberance of the language and rhymes, make them unique in
children’s literature.” Tom Keneally, author of Schindler’s Ark and
Ned Kelly and the City of Bees
“With their characteristic charm and flair, the dynamic duo of
Sarah Brennan and Harry Harrison bring us another Chinese legend,
just in time for the Year of the Horse. It’s a long way from the
capital at Chang’an to Ferghana at the far reach of the Silk Road,
but the ride has never been so much fun!” John Carroll, Professor
of History, University of Hong Kong
