About this product

Product Information

This is the beloved Strega Nona's own story, every detail just as she remembers it, from her childhood with Grandma Concetta, who trained young Nona and her best friend Amelia, to her early days in the little house on the hill and the happy moments when she met Big Anthony and Bambolona. It is the story of a most fascinating life that has influenced and delighted countless children and adults all over the world, and it all starts with the night Strega Nona was born, when the wind was blowing dark storm clouds across the hills . . . It's no surprise that award-winning author and artist Tomie dePaola was Strega Nona's choice as her biographer and portraitist, for he has put into books many stories that she has shared with him over the years, including Strega Nona (a Caldecott Honor Book), Strega Nona Meets Her Match , Strega Nona Takes a Vacation , Strega Nona's Harvest , Strega Nona's Gift , and Strega Nona Does It Again . Strega Nona's reaction when shown this book was, "Bravissimo, mio caro Tomie!"

Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Strega Nona: Her Story

    The book pictured here is actually Strega Nona: Her Story, and not the original Strega Nona story, so that is what I am reviewing. In my opinion Strega Nona: Her Story is the best of Tomie De Paola's Strega Nona stories, surpassing even the original. It follows her life history from pre-birth to the momentous occasion of her first meeting with her bumbling assistant and adopted son, Big Anthony. It's really a story about struggling to find your place in the world and figuring out what your ultimate happiness is, even if it turns out to be "simple." It features young Nona's relationship with her grandmother and the passing on of wisdom from the older generation to the younger. I frequently find myself tearing up when I read it to my daughter, it's that good. I highly, highly recommend it.

  • It's all about Strega Nona's life.

    Great story! It's a prequel to all the other Strega Nona Books.

  • Disappointed

    The paper book cover was all torn and ripped. The books binding was bent and discolored. The other books I ordered were in much better condition.

  • Strega Nona: Her Story

    This is the Pre-qual to Strega Nona. It is a sweet story of how she came to be a strega. While The original is better, true Strega Nona fans will enjoy this story as well. This one is fun in that it is written as if Strega Nona ia a real person and telling her story to Tomie Depaola.

  • Strega

    My granddaughter loves Strega Nona.
