The plot and its twist ending are well-known, and the ending is generally considered an example of comic irony. It was allegedly written at Pete's Tavern on Irving Place in New York City.The story was initially published in The New York Sunday World under the title "Gifts of the Magi". It was first published in book form in the O. Henry Anthology The Four Million in April 1906.Among the most significant works O.

  Once upon a time Fíasól was on the go. It started with Mum and sister Bidda going to Copenhagen. 
  Just the two of them. Pippa was a bit fed up about that, and Fíasól was furious. But then, totally out of the blue, Fíasól and Pippa, together with Grandma Gógó, got to join them. 
  In Denmark they met Auntie Glóa and her boy, Gutti. They visited Great-aunt Lóló, and stayed with Big Stína, a belly dancer with hardly any teeth. Fíasól lost her beanie in the Tivoli park and Grandma was tricked into having a ride on the Odin Express. After an extremely enjoyable trip they then returned to Iceland. 
  But of course that’s not the whole story. During the trip some crazy things happened that the family never talks about – Fíasól because she is so embarrassed about it; Grandma, Mum and Glóa because they’re so shocked by what they did; and Pippa, Gutti and Bidda because they still think it was so stupid. The time has definitely come to tell this story. 
  In order to understand how it all happened, it would be a good idea to check out the travel agreement that they all signed up to, back in Stína’s kitchen. 
  THE GRAND TRAVEL AGREEMENT 
  Binding contract relating to recreational trips 
  During this trip it is totally strictly forbidden to do anything that someone under the age of ten finds boring. Quite the opposite. It is actually every traveller’s duty to do ONLY, JUST AND ABSOLUTELY everything that anyone aged ten or under likes doing best when travelling. Whosoever infringes this Grand  Travel Agreement must immediately cease travelling and return home. 
  This rule to be applied within reason. 
  Signed: Fíasól, Mum, Gutti, Pippa, Bidda, Grandma Gógó, Auntie Glóa

  Award-winning Hilary McKay brings the childhood of Victorian heroine Grace Darling to life in this heartfelt reimagining of her life up to and including the Forfarshire shipwreck. 
  Grace Darling nearly drowned when she was eight years old, leaving her with a fear of boats and the sea. But it’s a fear she has to overcome as the daughter of a lighthouse keeper, living on the Longstone Rock with her parents, four brothers, three sisters and her beloved dog, Happy. 
  Losses at sea bring shadows to an otherwise idyllic childhood, but everything Grace learns growing up on the coast is put to the test in 1838, when The Forfarshire is wrecked on the Harcar Rock, and she has to row out through the storm to the rescue. 
  Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8. 
  This bestseller is not just a story of survival, but a testament to a young girl's self-reliance and self-esteem. Set in Europe, this historical fiction is a perfect blend of adventure and family themes. 
  For fans of Robin Stevens (Death Sets Sail), Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), Natasha Farrant (Voyage of the Sparrowhawk), Rhian Tracey (I, Spy), and Elisa Paganelli (The House with Chicken Legs).
