Sinopsis

"The Gift of the Magi" is a short story by O. Henry first published in 1905. The story tells of a young husband and wife and how they deal with the challenge of buying secret Christmas gifts for each other with very little money. The main idea of "The Gift of the Magi" is that the value of a gift is in the giver, rather than the gift itself.  Jim and Della, out of their love for each other, purchased a gift that required them to sacrifice something that was precious to them.

Now Pat Williams brings their stories to vivid life for children ages 9-12. 
 
These engaging stories of men, women, and even kids who showed courage despite overwhelming odds during America's fight for freedom will inspire young readers to face their fears, take calculated risks, and imagine a better future for themselves and their country.
