- The ultimate O. Henry: an annotated edition of classic tales by America's master storytellerTexas troubadour, convicted embezzler, and adopted New Yorker William Sidney Porter—better known as O. Henry—was one of the world&’s great storytellers. A master of cunning plots and a gifted humorist, he is best known today for his beloved tale &“The Gift of the Magi.&” But O. Henry&’s palette of moods and methods was as expansive as his exuberant imagination. This Library of America volume offers a fresh look at the full range of his literary genius. Here are 101 stories, including such favorites as &“The Ransom of Red Chief,&” &“The Last of the Troubadours,&” and &“The Cop and the Anthem,&” alongside lesser-known and previously uncollected stories, including three early tales published here for the first time. With full annotation and a newly researched chronology of Porter&’s life and career, this is a definitive edition for modern readers of a major American writer.
