The Prairie Trilogy: O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, My Antoniá

This beautiful edition includes the Prairie Trilogy with the following books: "O Pioneers!", "The Song of the Lark", "My Antoniá" One January day, thirty years ago, the little town of Hanover, anchored on a windy Nebraska tableland, was trying not to be blown away. A mist of fine snowflakes was curling and eddying about the cluster of low drab buildings huddled on the gray prairie, under a gray sky. The dwelling-houses were set about haphazard on the tough prairie sod; some of them looked as if they had been moved in overnight, and others as if they were straying off by themselves, headed straight for the open plain. None of them had any appearance of permanence, and the howling wind blew under them as well as over them. The main street was a deeply rutted road, now frozen hard, which ran from the squat red railway station and the grain “elevator” at the north end of the town to the lumber yard and the horse pond at the south end. - Taken from "The Prairie Trilogy: O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, My Antoniá" written by Willa Cather
