Oxford Bookworms Library: New Yorkers - Short Stories Level 2: 700-Word Vocabulary

A housewife, a tramp, a lawyer, a waitress, an actress - ordinary people living ordinary lives in New York at the beginning of the 1900s. The city has changed a lot since then, but the people are very much the same. Some are rich, some are poor, some are happy, some are sad, some have found love, some are looking for love. O. Henry's famous short stories - sensitive, funny, sympathetic - give us vivid pictures of the everyday lives of these New Yorkers.
