Originally published in 1917, Waifs and Strays is a premier
selection of short stories released seven years after the author's
untimely death at age 47. The book contains 12 memorable tales
including "Confessions of a Humorist," "The Detective Detector,"
and "The Sparrows in Madison Square." In Waifs and Strays, O. Henry
brings humor to unconventional stories with unforgettable
characters. With "The Detective Detector" he spoof's the world's
most famous consultant Sherlock Holmes, while "Hearts and Hands"
centers the unusual dynamic between a convict, a marshal and a
beautiful woman. There's also "The Cactus" in which a man recalls
the errors of a past relationship and "A Little Talk About Mobs,"
where two men debate New York's gangster scene.Waifs and Strays is
a compelling collection of stories that are humorous, thrilling and
most importantly, entertaining. O. Henry creates diverse narratives
that stir the imagination and keep readers guessing. Each tale is
an attention-grabber full of memorable moments. With an
eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this
edition of Waifs and Strays is both modern and readable.
