O. Henry was an American writer who was a master of the short story genre. His stories were known for their wit, wordplay and for having an unexpected twist at the end. He was famous for his warm characterizations of awkward and difficult situations and the creative ways people find to resolve them. His most famous short story, the Gift of the Magi, epitomizes this style. O. Henry was born William Sydney Porter. He started writing stories while serving a prison sentence and published his first twelve stories while still in prison. In order to keep his real identity private, he took on the pseudonym of O.
