He gains wide popularity with his short stories which often take place either in New York or some small American towns. The plot twists and the surprise endings are a typical and integral part of O. Henry’s short stories. Some of his best known works are "The Gift of the Magi", "The Cop and the Anthem", "A Retrieved Reformation".

Download or read book Heart of the West Collection of 19 Short Stories written by O Henry and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-24 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of 19 short stories from the West.Heart of the West, first published in 1907, collects many, though not all, of O. Henry's Western stories, and most of the stories in the book, though not all, are set in Texas. Perhaps reflecting William Porter's own experience as a young man in the middle of nowhere on the Texas prairie, where women were few and far between, many of the stories are comic tales of romantic rivalry, usually featuring two bluff and feckless young men in competition for the attention of the same rather remote and demanding young woman. This comically romantic longing is often deflected into an outlandish competition, the winner of which is supposed to get the girl. In the funniest story in the book, "The Handbook of Hymen" (which is set in Montana), two prospectors, Sanderson Pratt and his partner, Idaho Green, come down out of the mountains and each try to woo a pretty widow by the book-literally.
