      About This Book

      Set on the outskirts of a small Southern town, The Grass Harp tells the story of three endearing misfitsan orphaned boy and two whimsical old ladieswho one day take up residence in 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.
