{"product_id":"100-selected-stories-o-henry-9781853262418","title":"100 Selected Stories","description":"With a new Introduction by Professor Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D.\nThis selection of a hundred of O. Henry’s succinct tales displays the range, humour and humanity of a perennially popular short-story writer.\nHere Henry gives a richly colourful and exuberantly entertaining panorama of social life, ranging from thieves to tycoons, from the streets of New York to the prairies of Texas.\nThese stories are famed for their 'trick endings' or 'twists in the tail': repeatedly the plot twirls adroitly, compounding ironies. Indeed, O. Henry's cunning plots surpass those of the ingenious rogues he creates. His style is genial, lively and witty, displaying a virtuoso’s command of language and allusion.\nThis great collection offers delights for the mind, imagination and emotions.","brand":"Wordsworth Editions Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49513690267936,"sku":"9781853262418","price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781853262418.jpg?v=1767971447","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/100-selected-stories-o-henry-9781853262418","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
