Editorial reviews

O. Henry, the pen name for William Sydney Porter, became famous for sentimental stories that conclude with ironic twists. The Gift of the Magi, first published in 1905, is the most famous one of them all.

The story concerns Jim and Della, a couple of modest means who are searching for Christmas gifts for each other. Without revealing too much of this carefully wrought story, the lengths this couple goes to buy the perfect gift ultimately proves how true love equals sacrifice.

In a bell-clear voice, Cindy Hardin Killavey gives a plaintive, empathetic performance of this heart-warming classic.

This book is perfect for my high school sophomore class. It is a very easy read. They all got A’s on their test without my help. The performance is very bad though. The performer was very bad with the pronunciations. I think it would of been better with an actor, such as Hugh Jackman, as the performer/ reader.
Thank you
