    <body><![CDATA[O. Henry's humorous, energetic style shows the influence of Mark Twain and Ambrose Bierce. The story tells about two kidnappers, who make off with the young son of a prominent man. They find out that the child is a real nuisance. In the end they agree to pay the boy's father to take him back. - &quot;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/33591776">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The ransom of Red Chief is my favorite O. Henry story.  I first read it as a teenager.  Since I have several brothers, at least one of whom could be Red Chief's twin, I really related.  This is one of the funniest short stories ever. ]]></body>
