Henry William Sydney Porter (11 September 1862 – 05 June 1910), known by his pen name O. Henry, was an American short story writer. His stories are known for their surprise endings. Porter used a number of pen names (including "O. Henry" or "Olivier Henry") in the early part of his writing career; other names included S.H. Peters, James L. Bliss, T.B. Dowd and Howard Clark. Nevertheless, the name "O. Henry" seemed to get the most attention from editors and the public and was used exclusively by Porter for his writing by about 1902. Cabbages and Kings was his first collection of stories, followed by The Four Million. He had an obvious affection for New York city, which he called "Bagdad-on-the- Subway", and many of his stories are set there, while others are set in small towns or in other cities. His final work was "Dream", a short story intended for the magazine The Cosmopolitan but left incomplete at the time of his death. Among his most famous stories are: The Gift of the Magi, The Ransom of red Chief, The Cop and the Anthem, A Retrieved Reformation, The Duplicity of Hargraves, The Caballero’s Way, a short story The Last Leaf and much more.
