Description
This is a collection of 100 stories by O Henry. The stories are varied, and range from life in the south of the US to life in New York during the turn of the century. Many of the stories have surprising endings, and are marked by compassion and humour.
This collection of 100 of O Henry's finest stories is a showcase for the sheer variety of one of America's best and best-loved short story writers The variety of the stories is amazing; O Henry is as at home describing life south of the Rio Grande as he is chronicling the activities and concerns of 'the four million' ordinary citizens who inhabited turn-of-the-century New York. They are marked by coincidence and surprise endings as well as the compassion and high humour that have made O Henry's stories popular for the last century.
