Strega Nona--"Grandma Witch"--is the source for potions, cures, magic, and comfort in her Calabrian town. Her magical everfull pasta pot is especially intriguing to hungry Big Anthony.

In this retelling of an old tale, author-illustrator Tomie dePaola combines humor in the writing and warmth in the paintings as he builds the story to its hilarious climax., Now celebrating its 50th anniversary!

    The book was new and clean. I was thrilled to find it. I used to read these books to my children but lost them due to a basement flood. It’s wonderful to be reading them to my grandchildren.
