With a new Introduction by Professor Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D.
This selection of a hundred of O. Henry's succinct tales displays the range, humour and humanity of a perennially popular short-story writer.
Here Henry gives a richly colourful and exuberantly entertaining panorama of social life, ranging from thieves to tycoons, from the streets of New York to the prairies of Texas.
These stories are famed for their'trick endings' or'twists in the tail': repeatedly the plot twirls adroitly, compounding ironies. Indeed, O. Henry's cunning plots surpass those of the ingenious rogues he creates. His style is genial, lively and witty, displaying a virtuoso's command of language and allusion.
This great collection offers delights for the mind, imagination and emotions.

O. Henry (1862-1910), formerly known as William Sidney Porter, a well-known American short story writer in the early 20th century, the founder of American modern short stories, and Maupassant in France and Chekhov in Russia. The world's three great short story masters.
He wanted to be a painter when he was a teenager, and started writing with the encouragement of his wife after marriage. Later, he was imprisoned for accounting problems while working in a bank. During his sentence, he wrote carefully and published a large number of short stories under the pseudonym "O. Henry", which attracted widespread attention from readers. He is a prolific writer who left one novel and nearly three hundred short stories in his life. Known as "the father of modern American short stories."
