Description

The much-loved “Grandma Witch” (Strega Nona) is back. So is Big Anthony, Strega Nona’s bumbling assistant, and Bambolona, the overworked baker’s daughter who learned to make magic from Strega Nona. It’s Christmastime in the little town in Calabria. There is no time for Strega Nona’s usual business of curing headaches, mixing love potions, and getting rid of warts. Instead, it’s time for her annual feast for the whole town, complete with “baccala,” or Italian codfish stew, roasted peppers, and Christmas cookies. How will she ever have her feast ready by Christmas Eve -- with untrustworthy Big Anthony as her only helper? This warm, full-color illustrated tale will charm the hearts of children of all ages. Reinforced binding. Originally published in 1986.
