Rolling Stones is a book written by O. Henry, which chronicles the adventures of two con artists named Jimmy Valentine and Billy Porter. The story is set in the early 1900s and follows the two men as they travel across the country, scamming their way through various towns and cities. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a young woman named Annabel Adams, who becomes the object of Jimmy's affections. As the story unfolds, Jimmy and Billy find themselves in increasingly dangerous situations, and must use all of their wit and cunning to stay one step ahead of the law. With its fast-paced plot and engaging characters, Rolling Stones is a classic tale of deception, adventure, and romance that is sure to captivate readers of all ages.1923. William Sydney Porter (O. Henry) was the most popular short story writer of his time. His stories typically revolved around two of his favorite themes, the situation of the impostor and fate as the one unavoidable reality of life. Another device he used was the surprise ending, usually coming about through coincidence. He was the founder of the humorous weekly The Rolling Stone. When the weekly failed, he joined the Houston Post as a reporter and columnist. He was convicted of embezzling money, although there�������s much debate over his actual guilt, and while in prison he started to write short stories. His first work, Whistling Dick's Christmas Stocking appeared in McClure's Magazine. After emerging from prison Porter changed his name to O. Henry. He then moved to New York and wrote a story a week for the New York World, also publishing in other magazines. This volume of O�������Henry�������s work gets its title from his early newspaper venture of the same name.
