The Gift of the Magi

This was purchased to help a student who has trouble reading words in print. I allowed the student to use my Kindle and the student had a wonderful time reading this story and wants to read more of O. Henry's writings.

My daughter needed this short story for her last essay of the school year. I read it out loud cuz that's how we roll around here, lol, and it was surprisingly good. Kind of sad but yet gives you a good feeling at the same time.

I have always loved the morale of this short story by o henry since I was little. It is a classic reminder about the purpose and specialness one experiences from giving to others freely and out of pure LOVE.

This is the most beautiful version of the Gift of the Magi I have ever seen. It brings the story into a relatable scene with wonderful illustrations that make you want to read it again and again. I loved it so much I bought 20 copies to give as gifts.

Fairly well-known tale even for many who have not read this short story, but a real feel-good narrative. There is good reason that O Henry was known as the master of the short story, and this is his best-known.

Instead of demanding of each other, they give to each other. It's the secret of a happy long-term relationship. I read it in high school and gave it to my son and his fiance for Christmas. They loved it too.

This is a wonderful short Christmas story, long a classic, which seems almost new with these beautiful illustrations. It will be in our family for a long time, we're sure. (After resisting the purchase in a store, we were delighted to find it on the store for about half the price!)

A classic that I can never read without tearing up. This is a well formatted Kindle book, and well worth the price at $49.99. WAIT! It's FREE? Even better! Get it now, and be sure to have a box of tissues handy. Merry Christmas.
