![]() When Willa Cather was writing My Antonia, she visited her. ![]() Though a somewhat unlovely copy, My Ántonia is genuinely uncommon in the first state and inscribed copies seldom appear. Read My Antonia - The Original Classic Edition by Cather Willa available from Rakuten Kobo. My ntonia is a novel published in 1918 by American writer Willa Cather, considered one of her best works. The occasion of the inscription is uncertain (as is the recipient's surname, which we've been unable to decipher) however, we note in the marketplace (as of January, 2023) one other Cather inscription dated the same day, to the proprietor of an Illinois book-shop, suggesting Cather may have been touring to promote her 1925 novel The Professor's House. Third novel in what has come to be regarded as Cather's "Prairie Trilogy," following Oh Pioneers! (1913) and Song of the Lark (1915). ![]() ![]() Internally clean, fresh, and unmarked still, Good only, lacking the dustwrapper.

Inscribed in ink, on front endpaper: "Autographed for / Mary Elizabeth Couch ," signed by Cather and dated November 10, 1925. ![]()
