The Gift of the Magi
By O. Henry
Release Date: 1905

4 Stars - A truly fun little story that's been the basis for many great reimaginings. The plot twist has been used so many times for audiences of all ages, it's not much of a surprise. But it's still touching and is a wonderful Christmas message. Della is our main character and she's not super likable, maybe even comes off a tad shallow or vain. Her generous and giving spirit shines though. Jim's perspective is less detailed but he has a perfectly light-hearted and humorous reaction to the whole situation. So the big question is will these two be able to find gifts in time for Christmas? The audiobook was only fifteen minutes but it was a great way to fill a quick car ride or kill time while doing dishes.
