| Publisher Description: 24-Point large print of the classic O Henry short stories series about life in New York City. This extraordinary type size (about 1/3 inch) is helpful for people with severe visual challenges such as produced by Macular Degeneration. Do you sometimes feel that you are only one of so many people in the world that you don't matter much? Author O. Henry (William Sidney Porter) observed "Someone invented the assertion that there were only 'Four Hundred' people in New York City who were really worth noticing." But he had a different view--and tells 25 stories of the other Four Million lives in New York City that touched not only others of that time, but continue to touch millions as the stories are retold. Perhaps the best known story in this collection is The Gift of the Magi, in which ordinary people of limited means give up their own most treasured possessions in an attempt to share them. This volume includes 25 timeless stories by O. Henry--in very large print-to be shared. |
