  <default_description>Set on the outskirts of a small Southern town, &lt;b&gt;The Grass Harp&lt;/b&gt; 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, &lt;b&gt;The Grass Harp&lt;/b&gt; manages to convey all the pleasures and responsibilities of freedom. But most of all it teaches us about the sacredness of love, &quot;that love is a chain of love, as nature is a chain of life.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This volume also includes Capote's &lt;b&gt;A Tree of Night and Other Stories&lt;/b&gt;, which the &lt;b&gt;Washington Post&lt;/b&gt; called &quot;unobstrusively beautiful...a superlative book.&quot;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Capote's Southerness shines in this lovely little book. <br/>I adore Truman Capote's work. In Cold Blood has to be one of my favorite books of all time. So it was interesting to read a book that was still so blatantly Capote but emotionally so far removed from the other.

    <body><![CDATA[So many authors' works don't live up to the adjectives used to desribe their works.  Adjective like soaring, lyrical, incandescent, etc are so overused.

Here is a book that truly deserves those adjectives. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44262773">more...</a>]]></body>
