Notes
General Note
O. Henry's short stories brim with lively wit and wisdom, sudden twist endings and amusing characterizations, plus memorable moral lessons. This anthology contains twenty-four of his finest tales, with highlights being a parody of Sherlock Holmes named 'Shamrock Jones', and send-ups of certain frivolous yet monied city dwellers. The titular story is among O. Henry's most famous; a pair of opportunistic crooks kidnap the son of a wealthy Alabama businessman, hoping to collect a hefty ransom.
