Step into the boarding houses and furnished rooms of New York City, or take a stroll around the park. Observe the tumult and glitter of Broadway on a Saturday night, and browse the silken stockings in Manhattan';s most exclusive store. Hop onto the Coney Island ferry to join the lovesick shop-girl, the drunken down-and-out and the secret millionaire in the city';s dance of folly and pleasure. Bringing to life the glamour and squalor of the 1900s, O. Henry';s unmistakable tales are by turns hilarious or tragic, but always deeply poignant.
