Description
Introducing Little Clothbound Classics – irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas, and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith.
The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry showcases the work of one of the most popular American writers of the twentieth century, a true master of the short story. This selection of tales ranges from Christmas in New York to the cattle-lands of Texas, portraying con men, clerks, shop assistants, tramps, and tricksters.
These stories highlight O. Henry's comic eye, his gift for evoking speech and setting, and his unique approach to life's quirks of fate.

About the Author
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.
