<p>William Sydney Porter, known to readers as O. Henry, was a true raconteur. He was a draftsman, a bank teller, a newspaper writer, a fugitive from justice in Central America, a writer living in New York City, and he told stories at each stop and about each stop.

<p>William Sydney Porter, known to readers as O. Henry, was a true raconteur. As a draftsman, a bank teller, a newspaper writer, a fugitive from justice in Central America, a writer living in New York City, he told stories, at each stop and about each stop. His stories are known for their vivid characters who come to life, and sometimes death, in only a few pages. But the most famous characteristic of O. Henry’s stories are the famous “twist” endings, where the outcome comes as a surprise both to the characters and the readers. O. Henry’s work was widely recognized and lauded, so much so that a few years after his death an award was founded in his name to recognize the best American short story (now stories) of the year.</p>

<p>This collection gathers all of his stories written in New York and published in various popular magazines of the time, as well as those he wrote while at the Houston <i>Post</i> that were not attributed to him until many years after his death.</p>
