O. Henry "The Gift of the Magi and Other Stories"
Â
O. Henry
O. Henry’s short stories are often about the difficult times of people in the United States from 1902 to 1910. In a lot of these stories we visit New York. Other stories take us to Texas and Oklahoma, away from the towns.
Money is a big problem for many people in the stories. They work long days, and they live in cold apartments with only a little food. The people in Texas and Oklahoma have problems with money, too. But in those stories we see people in the fields and on ranches. In some stories, people have money. They don’t usually have difficult problems, but they have interesting stories.
There are ‘The Gift of the Magi’, ‘The Art Game’, ‘The Troubadour’, ‘Money Talks’, ‘Soapy’s Winter Home’ stories in the book.
