Set on the outskirts of a small Southern town, The Grass Harp tells the story of three endearing misfits - an orphaned boy and two whimsical old ladies - who one day take up residence in a tree house. As they pass sweet yet hazardous hours in a china tree, The Grass Harp manages to convey all the pleasures and responsibilities of freedom. But most of all it teaches us about the sacredness of love, “that love is a chain of love, as nature is a chain of life.”

Story4 out of 5 stars 116
"Of the place where he had been a boy he had written well enough. As well as he could then." So thought a dying writer in an early version of The Snows of Kilimanjaro. The writer was, of course, Ernest Hemingway. The place was the Michigan of his boyhood, where he remembered himself as Nick Adams. The now-famous "Nick Adams" stories show a memorable character growing from child to adolescent to soldier, veteran, writer, and parent - a sequence closely paralleling the events of Hemingway's life.

O Henry is for the intelligent listener
If you could sum up O. Henry Short Stories, Vol. 2 in three words, what would they be?
Entertaining, educational, witty.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The author because he challenges his listener with classic phrasing and descriptions of humanity that elevate and entertain.
Which scene was your favorite?
When the waitress who couldn't tolerate men's eating habits finally realized what hunger was. The metaphor was marvelous.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
O Henry routinely makes me laugh. His tongue is so far inside his cheek you'd have to be deaf to miss it.
Any additional comments?
The narrator is marvelous. I have sought Bob Thomley in other works just to hear his soothing voice. Perfect choice for O. Henry.

Classic
You don't need me to tell you O. Henry is great read. My only complaint is with the editing. The narrator is great with his pacing; however, when each story ends, there is no pause and it goes straight into the next story before you even realize the last story has ended. You will definitely need to stop the play because each of these storied needs more time to contemplate.
Some people will definitely find these stories dated, some stories more so than others.

Another great short story collection; great price
It is hard to beat the price for this excellent collection of short stories. O Henry is one of the innovators of the genre and most of his stories hold up. These stories are great for people who want a short story that clearly follows the classic narrative structure of begining, middle, and end. I have read numerous short story collection reviews that complain about how the stories JUST END (I kind of disagree with this argument but that is splitting heirs). But if you want short fiction that has a clear structure (but still is innovative and exciting) with humour, heart (and captures his era) I reccomend O. Henry. The narration is also good. One of the best buys on Audible.
