From the bestselling author of In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany's comes the story of three endearing misfitsâan orphaned boy and two whimsical old ladiesâwho take up residence in a tree house.
âRemarkable. . . . Infused with a tender laughter, charming human warmth, [and] a feeling for the positive quality of life.â âNew 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, âthat love is a chain of love, as nature is a chain of life.â
This volume also includes Capoteâs A Tree of Night and Other Stories, which the Washington Post called âunobtrusively beautiful...a superlative book.â
