Description	This is the first edition of O. Henry's first book and only novel, Cabbages and Kings, dating from 1904. The book, which deals with events and characters in a Central American republic, is 344 pages long and measures 5.25" x 7.75"(13.34 x 19.69 cm). The first thirteen pages are shown here. William Sidney Porter (1862-1910) on was born in North Carolina. He is much better known under his pen name "O. Henry." In 1891 he became a teller with the First National Bank in Austin. In 1894 money was found missing from the bank. O. Henry fled to Honduras, but later returned to Austin because of his wife's deteriorating health. In early 1898 he was found guilty of theft and sentenced to five years in the Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus, Ohio. While in the penitentiary, O. Henry started to write short stories to earn money to support his daughter. After serving three years of his five-year sentence, he emerged from the Ohio Penitentiary as "O. Henry" to help shield his true identity. He moved to New York City, where over the next ten years he published more than 300 stories before his death from cirrhosis of the liver.
