O. Henry

O. Henry was the pen name of William Sidney Porter (1862—1910). Born in North Carolina, Porter left school early to work in drugstores, on cattle farms, and as a journalist. In prison for three years for taking money from a bank where he worked, Porter began writing short stories for newspapers and magazines. The eight tales in this book – Fine furs for a lady, Springtime on the menu, The last leaf, The things we do for love, Ikey Schoenstein's love-potion, The Count and the wedding guest, Thinking yourself rich, and Lost and found – are among his finest.
