Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fuzzy the homeless drunkard is infamous. What most people aren't aware of though, is his kind heart. When he finds a tattered rag doll lying in the snow, he realises that it belongs to a spoiled child living in a nearby mansion, and promptly goes to return it. He is unaware of the reward that awaits him, and he is even less aware of the three street gangsters watching his every move, desperate to claim the reward for themselves. A morality tale with a twist, 'Compliments of the Season' is O. Henry's exploration of just how small the world is, and how people from completely different walks of life can find themselves entangled. William Sidney Porter (1862-1919), known simply as O. Henry, was a prolific American author of humorous literary pieces. His fame came exceptionally quickly and he became a bestselling author of short story collections. The most notable of which being "Cabbages and Kings", "The Voice of the City", and "Strictly Business." In fact, his legacy was so great that the ‘O. Henry Award’ was established to celebrate the best short stories. His vivid storytelling is perfect for fans of Roald Dahl.

Book excerpt: William Sydney Porter (September 11, 1862 - June 5, 1910), better known by his pen name O. Henry, was an American short story writer. His stories are known for their surprise endings.O. Henry's stories frequently have surprise endings. In his day he was called the American answer to Guy de Maupassant. While both authors wrote plot twist endings, O. Henry's stories were considerably more playful, and are also known for their witty narration.Most of O. Henry's stories are set in his own time, the early 20th century. Many take place in New York City and deal for the most part with ordinary people: policemen, waitresses, etc.O. Henry's work is wide-ranging, and his characters can be found roaming the cattle-lands of Texas, exploring the art of the con-man, or investigating the tensions of class and wealth in turn-of-the-century New York. O. Henry had an inimitable hand for isolating some element of society and describing it with an incredible economy and grace of language. Some of his best and least-known work is contained in Cabbages and Kings, a series of stories each of which explores some individual aspect of life in a paralytically sleepy Central American town, while advancing some aspect of the larger plot and relating back one to another.Cabbages and Kings was his first collection of stories, followed by The Four Million. The second collection opens with a reference to Ward McAllister's "assertion that there were only 'Four Hundred' people in New York City who were really worth noticing. But a wiser man has arisen-the census taker-and his larger estimate of human interest has been preferred in marking out the field of these little stories of the 'Four Million.'" To O. Henry, everyone in New York counted.He had an obvious affection for the city, which he called "Bagdad-on-the-Subway", and many of his stories are set there-while others are set in small towns or in other cities.His final work was "Dream", a short story intended for the magazine The Cosmopolitan but left incomplete at the time of his death.About This Book: A collection of 16 short stories
