Children, and their grown-ups, will want to enter here again and again.” ~ Ann Cowart Lutzky, award-winning author of Those Beautiful Eyes "Sieglinde has created a world like no other---a beautiful natural world and gnome community to feel safe in, to learn and grow along with, and to be delighted by. It was wonderful to follow along with (Mother Comfrey) on her scout-about journey (though there were some emotionally challenging parts/themes for her) and to witness her growing self-discovery and confidence in her own wisdom." ~ Kim C.

About the author

Sieglinde De Francesca (Sigi) has always sought to awaken a sense of wonderment through her work of more than 40 years as an artist, teacher, education consultant, storyteller, and more recently, an author.
After a decade in the theater as teacher/trainer she returned to school to receive a graduate degree in Waldorf education and taught for many years in Waldorf schools in the United States and Italy.
Her first non-fiction writings came out of her work as a teacher and artist. She then was inspired to write a book for families to share with their children, the delightful ‘A Donsy of Gnomes: seven gentle gnome stories.’
More recently a muse from Ireland, the land of her ancestors, moved her to write ‘The Guilds of Tir na nÓg; a Collection of Celtic Dream Tales.’
Sieglinde currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and cats.
