My Ántonia
In dust jacket
CATHER, Willa (1873-1947). My Ántonia. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1918.

In the rare dust jacket: first edition, first state, with illustrations on coated paper. The author's first widely acknowledged masterpiece. ABPC records only two copies of the first edition in dust jacket at auction, with one copy being the second state and the other described as defective. Willa Sibert Cather was born in 1873 near Winchester, Virginia, before moving with her family to Nebraska at the age of nine. The transition to the untamed Nebraska prairie would have a profound influence on her life and writing, as would her time with her grandmothers, who taught her Latin and the English classics at home. The family later settled in the town of Red Cloud, which would become the model for Black Hawk in My Ántonia. Crane A9.

Octavo. Original cloth; printed dust jacket (spine panel intact but with short closed tear across lower portion and some general wear at ends and flap folds).
