Sixes and Sevens

About this book

"Sixes and Sevens" is a collection of humorous short stories by American writer O. Henry. These unrelated tales deal with ordinary people and various ironic and amusing circumstances that they find themselves in, mostly in New York. Highly recommended for all lovers of the short story form. William Sydney Porter (September 11, 1862 - June 5, 1910), more commonly known by his pen name O. Henry, was an American writer of short stories., famous for his twists and surprise endings. Other notable works by this author include: "Cabbages and Kings" (1904), "The Four Million" (1906), and "The Voice of the City" (1908). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
