What is the name of a collection of 1950's childrens books about an old woman who gives rememdies to kids?

It's sort of an old, black and white-y, 1950's-ish set of children's books about an old,plump widow living next to all sorts of kids. She gives them and their parents remedies, potions, and has adventures at her house. I have no idea of the title or author, but i am desperate to know them.

I think you are probably looking for Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. : )
Reply:I think you're talking about the Strega Nona childrens' books , by Tomie dePaola. I think these were popular around the mid 1990's.
