O. Henry, the pseudonym of the American writer William Sydney Porter (1862-1910), is best known for writing stories full of wit, wordplay, and warm characterizations, and particularly for their clever twist endings. This volume contains 20 of O. Henry's best and best-loved stories. They are marked by coincidence and surprise endings, as well as the compassion and high humor that have made O. Henry's stories popular for the last century.

The stories contained in this unique collection are "Whistling Dick's Christmas Stocking", "The Gift of the Magi", "The Cop and the Anthem", "One Dollar's Worth", "A Retrieved Reformation", "The Last of the Troubadours", "The Caballero's Way", "Last Leaf", "The Furnished Room", "Cupid's Exile Number Two", "The Lotus and the Bottle", "The Trimmed Lamp", "Springtime a la Carte", "The Sleuths", "Out of Nazareth", "Memoirs of a Yellow Dog", "The Making of a New Yorker", "Law and Order", "Hearts and Hands", and "The Ransom of Red Chief".

A few of the stories are engaging enough to keep your interest - such as The Cisco Kid - and the rest work to put you to sleep. The Gift of the Magi is Henry’s best story. No others come close.

I wanted to read more O. Henry books because I liked, "The Gift of Magi". To my dismay, O. Henry is verbose. The Gift of Magi is good, because he gives only the details needed. Only the end has unnecessary sentences. Unfortunately, the end of it, is a great example of how Henry writes his stories.

He has excessive parts or extra words that does absolutely nothing but add bloat. It can slow down the story and make it very boring. For that reason, I wasn't able to go past chapter 17. I at times lost attention to the stories I read and had to rewind them. He tends to have some sort of twist, so the tales are interesting. Older readers or readers who read older material that are more verbose, will be able to enjoy the stories better.

The narrator fits the style of the book and he did his best with the material he had.
