O. Henry Encore

by O. Henry

'O. Henry Encore' offers a glimpse into the early career of famed short story writer O. Henry, showcasing his work before his pseudonym became renowned. The collection features a selection of short stories, sketches, and poems published under the name "Post Man" in the Houston Post between 1895 and 1896. These writings provide a unique insight into O. Henry's development as a writer and offer a historical context for his later, more famous works.
