This classic holiday story about true love, irony, and gift-giving makes a sophisticated gift for middle grade readers —give to boys and girls ages 9 - 12 years old.
Della and Jim love each other very much but have no money for getting Christmas gifts for one another. But when Della decides to make a great sacrifice that will give her enough money to buy the present Jim deserves, she soon discovers that that her selfless act may have been for naught. This is a new, richly illustrated interpretation of the well-loved, poignant short story by O. Henry.
