The Grass Harp -- Truman Capote

<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." <p/>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><b>Author:</b> Truman Capote<br><b>Publisher:</b> Vintage<br><b>Published:</b> 09/28/1993<br><b>Pages:</b> 288<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.65lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.90d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780679745570<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Truman Capote was a native of New Orleans, where he was born on September 30, 1924.
