The Grass Harp
Truman Capote
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group
<p>Set on the outskirts of a small Southern town, <i>The Grass Harp</i> tells the story of three endearing misfits--an orphaned boy and two whimsical old ladies--who one day take up residence in a tree house. As they pass sweet yet hazardous hours in a china tree, <i>The Grass Harp</i> 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."<br><br>This volume also includes Capote's <i>A Tree of Night and Other Stories</i>, which the <i>Washington Post </i>called "unobtrusively beautiful . . . a superlative book."</p></br></br>
