I feel like the play concentrates more on the development of character as well as theme, where as O Henry likes hearing...

    I read this for school and loved it. Our school had performers come and do a dramatic reading of this story. It was a great way to bring it to life.

    Deservedly a classic. Much more than a teary-eyed Christmas story, this is about what makes a marriage last and a family strong.
