Sobre aquest llibre
"Sixes and Sevens" is a collection of humorous short stories by American writer O. Henry. These unrelated tales deal with ordinary people and various ironic and amusing circumstances that they find themselves in, mostly in New York. Highly recommended for all lovers of the short story form. William Sydney Porter (September 11, 1862 - June 5, 1910), more commonly known by his pen name O. Henry, was an American writer of short stories., famous for his twists and surprise endings. Other notable works by this author include: "Cabbages and Kings" (1904), "The Four Million" (1906), and "The Voice of the City" (1908). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
Sobre l'autor
O. Henry is the pen name of William Sidney Porter, who was born on September 11, 1862 in Greensboro, North Carolina. Porter was a licensed pharmacist and worked on a sheep ranch in Texas. He was a draftsman for the General Land Office and a teller for the First National Bank of Texas. He was convicted of embezzlement and eventually served five years in prison. While in prison, he began writing short stories under his pseudonym and eventually wrote over 300. As O. Henry, Porter is one of America's best known writers, and his stories, such as "The Gift of the Magi" and "The Ransom of Red Chief", are still taught in schools. In 1918, the O. Henry Awards, an annual anthology of short stories, was established in his honor. Porter died on June 5, 1910.
