Henry's short stories brim with lively wit and wisdom, sudden twist endings and amusing characterizations, plus memorable moral lessons. An iconic author at his height in the early 20th century, O. Henry was industrious and prolific, turning out short stories at astonishing speed. This anthology contains 24 of his finest tales, with highlights being a parody of Sherlock Holmes named ?Shamrock Jolnes?, and send-ups of certain frivolous yet monied city dwellers. The breezy dialogue and descriptive prose tend to be witty and playful, with the author occasionally venturing to the satirical in his plotting. 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. They are soon driven to their wits end however, when the boy turns out to be a wildly misbehaving brat. The boy's father makes a counteroffer: for a modest sum, he?ll take the boy back. The kidnappers agree and the youngster is returned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ransom of Red Chief and Other O. Henry Stories: For Boys Boys, meet O. Henry! That's the proper way, it seems to me, to begin an "Introduction" for you lads. As a teller of tales and spinner of yarns, by very many he is counted our country's greatest short story writer. The earlier in life you get acquainted with him, the longer you will enjoy him and the fewer will be your regrets that you didn't know him sooner. He didn't write stories for boys, but a big bunch of them might just as well have been, and after reading the ones I have chosen, you lads are likely to develop a taste for more that will make all his stories equally easy and delightful reading. In this selection you will find stories of the wild and woolly west. Cow-punchers, Indians, desperadoes, "greasers," good men and bad aplenty, crowd one another on and off the page.
