In this book there are more than one story and they often about the difficult times of people in America. He wrote about money and love problems. I like it because I love the short story and I think it’s excting and short. This book has four stories.All of them are very interseting. I like the first story which is Mr.and Mrs.Jame's story. They are poor but want to buy Chiristmas present for him or her.So they plan to make some money. This story is full of love between husband and wife. nice Christmas story - very short I appreciated reading an adapted version of this story, illustrated by Carol Heyer, in celebration of the Christmas season. The adaptation takes out some of O. Henry’s tedious wordiness, thus emphasizing the true message and spirit of the story. Heyer’s illustrations are realistic, and yet deeply appropriate for this Christmas tale of the true meaning of giving a gift in love. Oh, such a luscious book. This is a treasure, a classic, a heartbreak. The tale of a poor couple who sacrifice their prized possessions to give the other a gift. Simple, beautiful, timeless. Beautiful watercolors, a meditative read. no reviews | add a review
