Including his most famous works, such as The Gift of the Magi and The Furnished Room, this collection of forty-one O. Henry short stories demonstrates his extraordinary technical genius.

There are stories in everything. I've got some of my best yarns from park benches, lampposts, and newspaper stands.--O. Henry

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 an O. 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.

Cunningly arranged according to geographic location, these tales display the wide range of O. Henry's world, from the streets of his beloved New York City to the heat of Honduras and other exotic locales. With his wonderful plot turns, unexpected climaxes, and deep insights into human nature, O. Henry's works will live on as prime examples of the well-told tale.

Includes an Introduction by Burton Raffel
