By O. Henry, Illustrated by Kate Bingaman-Burt
This is Volume 9 of Scout Book's new Good Inks series of great American shorts.
Each 32-page volume features a must-read American author juxtaposed with a contemporary illustrator, creating a unique artistic collaboration across the years.
O. Henry is at his best in this collection of three winter tales. Includes his immortal Christmas parable “The Gift of the Magi,” the darkly comic “The Cop and the Anthem,” and “The Last Leaf” a bittersweet tale of impoverished artists in New York City.
Illustrator Kate Bingaman-Burt’s charming drawings perfectly reflect the ironic wit and affection of O. Henry’s words.
