2. ABOUT THE WRITER O. Henry (1862-1910) was an American writer who wrote short stories that are known to have twist endings. His real name was William Sidney Porter but he later changed the spelling to Sydney. He has written a number of short stories and there is even a ‘O. Henry award’ that is given to outstanding short stories. One of his best known stories is – ‘The gift of Magi’, which we had in our syllabus last year. In 1952, a film called ‘O. Henry’s full house’ was made, which featured five of his stories. The gift of Magi was one of those stories.
3. WHAT IS THE STORY ABOUT? This story depicts a real life example of an irony. The story is about two old friends. One (Editor Westbrook) is a fairly well-to-do editor of the Minerva magazine and the other one (Mr. Dawe) is a fiction writer, who is struggling to get his work published. As we would learn in the story, Mr. Dawe and Mr. Westbrook used to be close friends at one time. They lived in the same neighborhood. But a hard time forced the Dawe family to leave the neighborhood and live in a flat in a shabby society.
