Henry's best, children can now enjoy all the surprising twists and turns of six favorite tales by the master of the short story: The Gift of the Magi, Two Thanksgiving-Day Gentlemen, The Last Leaf, Mammon and the Archer, After Twenty Years, and A Retrieved Reformation. Noted scholar John Hollander provides the thoughtful introduction and insightful annotations, and illustrator Miles Hyman brings the stories to life in nostalgic pictures that evoke a bygone age of America.
