Truman Capote created a woman whose name has entered the American idiom and whose style is a part of the literary landscape. Holly Golightly knows that nothing bad can ever happen to you at Tiffany's; her poignancy, wit, and naivete continue to charm. This volume also includes three of Capote's best-known stories, House of Flowers, A Diamond Guitar, and A Christmas Memory, which the Saturday Review called "one of the most moving stories in our language." It is a tale of two innocents "a small boy and the old woman who is his best friend" whose sweetness contains a hard, sharp kernel of truth.
