The O. Henry Museum offers a look into the life of William Sidney Porter in the Austin years leading up to his controversial prison term, during which he earnestly assumed the pen name O. Henry and set about transforming himself into the famed short story writer who authored such universal classics as "Gifts of the Magi," "The Ransom of Red Chief," and "The Cop and the Anthem."
Celebrate the Holidays with a reading of O. Henry's "Gifts of the Magi". Also featured is Jaime Pickett's "The Familiar Cul-de-Sac", which won the inaugural Short Story Master Class story competition.
