The Gentle Grafter

A short story collection from much loved American author William Sidney Porter, better known as 'O. Henry', 'The Gentle Grafter' is a wonderful array of some of his classic short stories. Tales in the collection include, 'The Octopus Marooned', 'A Midsummer Masquerade' and 'Innocents of Broadway'. As always, O. Henry's focus on the outcasts of society, his warm characterisation, and humorous twists and turns make this a fascinating selection of the popular authors' works - a joy for both established fans as well as those discovering his stories for the very first time. -
