Description:

Quote:From the bestselling author of In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany's comes the story of three endearing misfits-an orphaned boy and two whimsical old ladies-who take up residence in a tree house.

"Remarkable. . . . Infused with a tender laughter, charming human warmth, [and] a feeling for the positive quality of life." -New York Herald Tribune

Set on the outskirts of a small Southern town, The Grass Harp tells the tale of three misfits who move into a tree house. As they pass sweet yet hazardous hours in a china tree, The Grass Harp manages to convey all the pleasures and responsibilities of freedom. But most of all it teaches us about the sacredness of love, "that love is a chain of love, as nature is a chain of life."

This volume also includes Capote's A Tree of Night and Other Stories, which the Washington Post called "unobtrusively beautiful...a superlative book."
