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,
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.”
