About this listen

Set on the outskirts of a small Southern town, The Grass Harp 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, 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.”

Creates a memorable atmospheric evocation of the American South. Original languid and distinctive. The language reflects the slow pace.

First this was a joy to listen to, superb narrator. It was great to hear some of Capote's lesser known works, understand what led to his greatest works.
