The Ransom of Red Chief
by O. Henry
THE RANSOM OF RED CHIEF by O. Henry is one of many short stories written by Henry. This one was first published in 1907 and the humor still comes through in 2020. When two men need money for a fraudulent scheme, they decide to kidnap the only child of Ebenezer Dorset and hold him for ransom. What they got was more than they bargained for.
It has been many years since I originally read this story and it is still amusing. Antics and boisterousness make for an engaging story. But underneath it all, there is a serious element of father-son relationships and much more. This story can be found for free in several places online.
