The Gift of the Magi

A classic first published in 1905, The Gift of the Magi is about a young husband and wife dealing with the challenge of buying Christmas gifts for each other with very little money.

This volume includes this holiday gem as well as a collection of tales ranging from Christmas in New York to the cattle-lands of Texas, taking in con men, clerks, shop assistants, tramps and tricksters. They all highlight O. Henry's comic eye, his gift for evoking speech and setting, and his unique approach to life's quirks of fate.
