"I felt that the grass was the country, as the water is the sea … There was nothing but land: not a country at all, but the material out of which countries are made." --Willa Cather, My Ántonia




Willa Cather paints her pioneer country in wistful sepia prose that has become an enchanting American classic. The childhood memories of narrator Jim Burden in Blackhawk, Nebraska are woven together with the struggles of his beloved neighbor, a newly-arrived immigrant girl from Bohemia, Ántonia Shimerda. The story of their friendship outlines the determination, hardship, and resiliency of Great Plains life at the turn of the last century.



In the holiday spirit of giving, we invite you to bring your new and gently-used books to Book-It when you attend My Ántonia. Your books will benefit Page Ahead, our partner in literacy advocacy. Need ideas for books to donate? Check out Page Ahead's Book Drive Wish List.
