About this product

Product Information

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."

  • The Grass Harp

    A wonderful story of life in the deep South of the USA. A loving and troubling story at the same time.
