By O. Henry, Lisbeth Zwerger
Via Goodreads
O. Henry's most famous short story, "The Gift of the Magi" has a universal appeal that extends beyond the Christmas season. Set in New York at the turn of the century, the story centers on a young couple and the sacrifices each must make in order to buy the other a gift. The pictures by the award-winning Austrian illustrator Lisbeth Zwerger are infused with the poignancy and delight of this simple tale about the rewards of unselfish love.
My 2 Cents
This is a such a sweet, sweet story to read during Christmas. Beautiful illustrated cover. I must say I love that. This is the story of sacrifice and yes, I am usually into this stuff but for some unknown reason, this book can’t pull me in. Good characters, and great plot. Maybe it’s just not for me. Otherwise.. It’s good.
