STREGA NONA

Tomie dePaola serves as 'biographer' to his delightful Italian sorceress, 'Strega Nona', in this beautifully drawn prequel. The tale begins with little Nona's birth on a dark and stormy night, and ends where the original Strega Nona picks up-with 'Strega Nona' taking on the bumbling, knock-kneed Big Anthony as an apprentice. This winsome story is illustrated throughout with Tomie dePaola's warm and sunny watercolors!
