Synopsis

William Nadel — editor and great, great, great nephew of the author — writes in this new collection:
"Why O. Henry? Why now? The answer came in a local bookstore from a young science fiction writer. 'O. Henry inspired me to become a writer!' she proclaimed. 'He knew how to tell a story and he knew how to create memorable characters!'
"Bold Venture Press has given me the chance to select what I feel are thirty of my great Uncle’s most interesting stories, including a 31st story — his only collaboration with another author, his 'pard' Al Jennings. Each story is prefaced with notes regarding the origins of stories, how they represent a simpler time in New York City and elsewhere, and how they remain relevant more than 100 years later. O. Henry captured the essence of human want and desire like no other author before or since."
