Publisher's Synopsis
"With East Side tenements, Wall Street offices, and Fifth Avenue as their backdrops, these colorful tales by a master storyteller recount the dreams and passions of New Yorkers at the turn of the 20th century. Thirty-three of O. Henry's best stories - including ""The Gift of the Magi,"" ""The Cop and the Anthem,"" and ""The Furnished Room"" - abound in wit, irony, and the author's trademark surprise endings."
