This is a collection of short stories from the vast corpus of work that O. Henry has left behind. These selected stories not only give the reader a chance to read some of the best known of his works but also bear ample evidence of the wide range of his writings. Humorous and energetic, O. Henrys stories are marked by coincidence and surprise endings. They offer an insight into human nature and the ways it is affected by love, hate, wealth, poverty, gentility, disguise, and crime. O. Henrys depiction of his characters and their unique situation continues to weave their magic over readers almost a hundred years after the author created them. This is a must-read for all short story lovers as well as for those who want to take a dip into the world of classics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","book_type":[6],"book_author":[830],"class_list":["post-57096","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","book_type-fiction","book_author-o-henry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mybookzone.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book\/57096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mybookzone.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mybookzone.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/book"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mybookzone.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"book_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mybookzone.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book_type?post=57096"},{"taxonomy":"book_author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mybookzone.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book_author?post=57096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
