With East Side tenements, Wall Street offices, and Fifth Avenue as their backdrops, these colourful tales by a master storyteller recount the dreams and passions of New Yorkers at the turn of the 20th century. Thirty-three of O. Henry's best stories - including The Gift of the Magi, The Cop and the Anthem, and The Furnished Room - abound in wit, irony, and the author's trademark surprise endings.

O. Henry

O. Henry (1862-1910) had a short but colourful life. Born William Porter in Greensboro, North Carolina, he initially worked as a pharmacist before moving into journalism. In 1896 he was arrested for embezzling funds while working as a bookkeeper for a bank.

In a moment of madness, he absconded on his way to the courthouse before his trial and fled to Honduras for six months. He returned to face trial after learning that his wife was dying of tuberculosis and served three years in jail. While in prison, he adopted the pen name O. Henry, and after his release he found great fame and popularity as a short story writer.
