Chief of the Red Skins. Stories

Before you is a collection of stories by the remarkable American writer O. Henry. The name of the classic of American literature, the virtuoso master of the short story William Porter (1862-1910), who wrote under the pseudonym O. Henry, is known to almost everyone. The creativity of O. Henry is amazingly multifaceted - through mischievous irony and an engaging plot with an unexpected denouement, deep lyricism and philosophical sadness shine through like watermarks. And essentially, there are no age restrictions for it: everyone - from eight years old to eighty - will be able to find something close and understandable among O. Henry's stories.
This edition includes works where children are the main characters. The title story has long gained wide popularity among our readers, and the other two were very rarely published in Russian. In this translation, they are published for the first time.
For younger and middle school age.
