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.
