An extremely popular and prolific writer, O Henry is noted for his sentimental, semi-realistic stories dealing with the lives of modest people and his mastery of the surprise ending. A North Carolinian by birth, Porter moved to Texas, where he became the editor and publisher of the humorous magazine The Rolling Stone. When he was charged with embezzling funds from a bank, he fled to Central America, subsequently the scene of Cabbages and Kings (1904). He later returned and, although there has been much debate over his actual guilt, served over three years in the federal penitentiary. While in prison, he published the first of his O Henry stories-Whistling Dick's Christmas Stocking (1899). Stories he heard in prison were the germs of many of his narratives.But his work is most identified with New York City, which he liked to call 'Baghdad-on-the-Subway.' Condition: Cream cloth toned; boards somewhat worn at edges, particularly at ends of spine. Dust jackets mildly soiled, discolored with some spot staining, most noticeable at spine panel of tenth volume; some fraying at spine ends. Free end-papers toned from exposure to dust jacket flaps.
