[REVIEW IN PROGRESS]

A collection of short fiction by O. Henry. In this collection:

THE ROSE OF DIXIE - Editorial hijinks of a small southern magazine. Those wacky southerners!

THE THIRD INGREDIENT - A story of poverty, despair, fate, and an onion. I really enjoyed the playful narrative and dialogue in this one.

THE HIDING OF BLACK BILL - A tale of cautious strangers, hiding outlaws, and sheep.
