Sixes and Sevens

Anotace

Published posthumously, William Sidney Porter's 'Sixes and Sevens' is a collection of 25 short stories from the popular author. Some of the most famous works included are 'Ulysses and the Dogman', where a dog walker meets an old acquaintance; 'The Church with an Overshot-Wheel' about a bereaved miller who turns his mill into a church, and classic detective story 'The Sleuths'. With a focus on the harshness but also the humour of everyday life, and tales stretching from New York to the Wild West, this is a remarkable collection of some of O. Henry's timeless tales.
