On the 3rd day of Christmas my true love gave to me 3 French hensToday's prize is a paperback copy of The Gift Of The Magi And Other Stories
by O. Henry. The title story of this collection is one of my favorite Christmas stories. And although the other short stories aren't Christmas related, the first one is a great story to add to your Christmas reading traditions.
About the book (from back cover): "A young woman makes a drastic decision -- and her husband has a Christmas surprise in return. A dying girl attaches her fate to that of a leaf. A writer sobs at the sight of a menu. A detective tracks a thief to an unexpected hideout. An unforgettable collection from a master of the short story -- where the ending is never what you expect."To enter, please leave a comment below or send me an email with the subject line "Third Day of Christmas". If you haven't read them already, make sure you read the Contest Rules. You'll also find a roundup of all the other contests on that page. Open internationally until December 20th at midnight.

The Gift Of The Magi is my favorite Christmas story. I am ashamed that I do not own it. So, please enter me in this contest. (Should I mention that I follow The Shady Glade when I enter contests, or do you already know that?)
ReplyDeleteDon't enter me - I have all of his works, but what a great giveaway. He's such an amazing writer. :)
