This beautiful antique 12-volume complete set of O. Henry stories, essays, and novels is in excellent condition, very clean, with some wear on the top portion of the spine.

William Sydney Porter (September 11, 1862 – June 5, 1910), better known by his pen name O. Henry, was an American writer known primarily for his short stories, though he also wrote poetry and non-fiction. Porter's stories are known for their naturalist observations, witty narration, and surprise endings.
