Jones IIIIt is that time of year again to do mellow. Traditionally at Christmas I have posted a review of one of the children’s books in French that I once read to my kids in the days of yore. But I have run out of those books, and am not purchasing any more until the grandkids arrive… So, I recalled one from my own youth. Admittedly, I had never read this before, and only saw the movie, faithfully shown on TV at Christmas, but thanks to Kindle I was able to read it in much less time than watching the movie.O. Henry was an American short story writer who lived from 1862 to 1910, and alas drank himself to death. This is his most popular story, and it has endlessly been produced, modified and even parodied. Mrs. James Dillingham Young, more commonly called Della, has scrimped and saved, and bargained hard with merchants, but only has a $1.87 to show for it, and she needs $21 to buy the watch chain for her husband’s most prized position: an inherited gold watch.. She decides to sell her most prized position, her luxuriant long hair, and secures 20 bucks. Meanwhile, her husband is on the same wavelength… and it does not require much imagination to guess the actions he undertakes to obtain a valued gift for his wife. Each sacrifices what is most precious to them for the other, negating the utility, but not the meaning of their sacrifice.In the written version of the story, O. Henry provided the following anti-brand statement, long before brands became a dominant consideration: “properly proclaiming its value by substance alone and not by meretricious ornamentation – as all good things should do.” A straightforward Christmas tale on that ever so elusive true meaning thereof: 4-stars.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.Read this at least once a year!By ChloeI read The Gift of the Magi as a child, then adolescent, and adult. During three years while I lived in NYC, I went into Pete's Tavern and sat in the booth where O. Henry (William S Porter) wrote the short story, and just relaxed while my imagination ran wild.One of the greatest short story writers ever, O. Henry knew how to write about ordinary people to make them seem extraordinary. In GIFT, we are not told this young, happy couple lives in a tenement building, we are shown it in details. I loved how Della has to hang out her long hair to get it dry.A lesson about what true gift giving is all about. I've read this to my daughter and granddaughters, and we all believe this is one of the greatest tales ever written. Many struggle to exist in today's iffy economy, yet you can only hope a sense of humor remains and love deepens due to not spending a fortune on gifts, yet giving from the heart and being able to laugh no matter the outcome.Although I believe everyone knows the end of this story, I won't insert a spoiler, but I will ask that you re-read this short, especially the ending line. A tragic mix up, so filled with beautiful sentiment, it will bring a tear to the eye while bringing a smile to your heart. Be as wise as a Magi1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.Of all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisestBy Joanna D.Everyone should have a copy of this story. The great O. Henry (William Sydney Porter) had a soft spot for down-and-out folks, New Yorkers and ordinary folks. James Dillingham Young and his wife Della live in a tenement (we know this, because she talks of hanging her hair down to dry in the airshaft, a feature of tightly-packed tenements) and they are a young couple, struggling to survive in the city on small wages and thin prospects. The story is humorous, yet kind of tragic and there is the "O.Henry" surprise ending, of course. But I love the last sentence: "Of all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the Magi." Somehow, it lifts the story past the anecdotal and makes it very meaningful. The story is frequently told or referred to, and it's good to have a copy. If you have kids around, you can read it to them--which is what my Dad did. He loved these stories, especially being from New York, and had a copy of "The Four Million" in our home library.See all 417 customer reviews...
