Description

Poet David Mignot leaves Vernoy after a quarrel and meets three roads; each path, from forced marriage under the Marquis de Beaupertuys to Paris intrigue or a quieter return, tests whether destiny can be chosen. O. Henry's collection of fate, irony, and sudden turns around one title story of forked roads.

Author

O. Henry (William Sydney Porter, 1862–1910) was America's great popular short-story writer of the early twentieth century — a craftsman of coincidence, slang, and sudden revelation. After years in Texas and a prison sentence that shaped his later career, he settled in New York and turned the city's anonymous millions into characters worth knowing.
