Includes over 100 superb short stories from America's most popular short story writer. Drawn from his most famous collections, these stories make up the essential O. Henry -- funny, moving, romantic... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Having gone through about 161 completed works of O. Henry in his "Complete Works" and having recently learned about the man and his background, I had to obtain an audiocassette of some of his works to hear how they were presented. After having seen the televised portion of "Red Cloud and Yellow Chief" (right title?)and having read the short story and listened to the audio version, a totally different viewpoint of that particular work is achieved. His use of the language and his method of describing things cause one to listen or read more closely at what he says or writes. I must apologize for not having the source material at hand while writing this review.
