2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A superbly narrated experience By P. Mann As I write this, there are two reviews up. J. Mays's review takes the narrator to task for an ineffective reading. I would respectfully disagree. This is a wonderful reading, almost perfect for these stories. From "The Cop and the Anthem," in which a homeless man tries to get arrested so that he will have a warm place to spend the winter, to "Ransom of Red Chief," in which two kidnappers soon regret their choice of hostage when the boy proves too rambunctious, reader Michael Hanson is wonderful. He distinguishes between characters smoothly without sounding forced, but mostly it's the gentle manner in which he reads that is perfect for these stories. If it's possible for a reader to convey the life of a century ago merely through his tone, Hanson does so.The stories include the two I mentioned above, "The Voice of the City," "The Green Door," "The Hiding of Black Bill," "The Romance of a Busy Broker," and, of course, "The Gift of the Magi." For those who are not familiar with O. Henry's stories, this is a good place to start. Here's a better place, though.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent stories, mediocre narration By J. Mays In this audiobook collection of 7 O. Henry stories, the narrator takes the listener on two sets of adventures: The New York Stories (disk 1), and the Western Stories (disk 2). From the well known "The Gift of the Magi" to stories of wild west betrayals, the collection displays a wide range of subject matter including love, crime, trickery and distraction of the modern age.What brought this a lower rating for me was the narration of Michael Hanson. He has a pleasant, deep voice, but his delivery is done in a quiet, almost plodding way. This made it tough to focus on the stories because my mind was easily distracted. As someone who likes to listen to audiobooks at work or while driving, this made it far too easy to "tune out" in favor of other things, leading me to have to restart certain stories in order to catch on to the story.That having been said, though, I always really enjoy "The Gift of the Magi" which was a timely story to re-read for this time of year. I also really enjoyed "The Ransom of Red Chief" from the Western Stories disk, which featured a pair of kidnappers and the rambunctious boy they try to ransom. They bite off more than they can chew in choosing this kid! So...4 stars for the stories themselves, 2 for the audio version...middle of the road overall.

Henry in his "Complete Works" and having recently learned about the man and his background, I had to obtain an audiocassette of some of his works to hear how they were presented. After having seen the televised portion of "Red Cloud and Yellow Chief" (right title?)and having read the short story and listened to the audio version, a totally different viewpoint of that particular work is achieved. His use of the language and his method of describing things cause one to listen or read more closely at what he says or writes.I must apologize for not having the source material at hand while writing this review.
