| Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
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!
"dePaola does a splendid job of working this sparkling tale into the Strega Nona canon." -Publishers Weekly

Customer Reviews:
• Strega Nona-- Her Story 22 October, 2002
This story is about a girl Nona who goes with her friend Amelia and learns how to do modern magic. Nona doesn't want to do magic the modern way. She goes back to her grandma to learn the magic the way her grandma does magic. I think children 9 and up would like this book.

• The Prequel. 03 May, 2001
This is the prequel to "Strega Nona" and has the same brilliant illustrations as the original classic, but the colors are brighter. This one has more characters than the first and a more complicated plot. Here we learn how baby Nona grew up to be a magic woman. It's great fun and a nice surprise for all those who read "Strega Nona" years ago.
