Just to say again, I just love his writing style and his ability to place you in the stories. So many times I feel as though I am there. 5 for 5 🌠

Still working on this book this weekend. This is one of my favorite stories so far, it's from The Last Leaf.

My life has been very busy as of late and haven't been able to get going on this. So finally I've got an uneventful weekend coming up and guess what I'm doing. So If someone were to ask me who is the greatest writer of short stories I would have to say O'Henry. I mean to this day the major award for writing the short story has his name attached.
