Readers the world over recognize O. Henry as the best short story writer of the early twentieth century.Even today a masterful surprise at the end of a story is described as“anO. Henry twist,” and a prominent short fiction award bears his name.Widely known as a master of irony, O. Henry also displayed in his stories dazzling wordplay and a wry combination of pathos and humor. Including his famous work, such asThe Gift of the Magi andThe Furnished Room, this collection of forty-one stories demonstrates his extraordinary technical genius. Cunningly arranged according to geographic location, these tales display the wide range ofO. Henry’s world, from the streets of his beloved New York City to exotic locales south of the border. With his wonderful plot turns, unexpected climaxes, and deep insights into human nature, O. Henry’s work will live on as prime examples of well-told tales.
