Who is the man
O. Henry
Introduction
O. Henry, pseudonym of William Sydney Porter, original name William Sidney Porter, American short-story writer whose tales romanticized the commonplace—in particular the life of ordinary people in New York City. His stories expressed the effect of coincidence on character through humour, grim or ironic, and often had surprise endings, a device that became identified with his name and cost him critical favour when its vogue had passed.
“The Last Leaf” is one of O. Henry’s most famous short stories. Read the story quickly and then filling the forms.
