Faboulus little book that I will certainly try to get a copy of for my library.I love little stoies like this that have so much meaning in so little pages.Wonderful and enlightening.

This story captured my heart in junior high school many moons ago. I believe it began my love for short stories . I have thought of it many times over the years..especially in the fall when I would catch sight of a tree with only the last few leaves left upon it. Tonight was the first time I had read it once again and the magic remained. A story that would linger in the heart of a young girl for so many years is deserving of no less than 5 stars.

Absolutely beautiful story. Breathtakingly beautiful... I am at my wits end to define the beauty of this story. Hope is a weapon. :O

O'Henry has never failed to evoke my emotions...never!!!! Stories are short but heart quenching....depth is not bound to pages, it can be achieved in few lines as well.The Gift of Magi was my first book of O'Henry's. I was in school when i read it and till today the story lingers in my memory.That is the power of his writing! I have since read many of his works and they have left their impression on me as well. The ironical twists narrated by each story is commendable.

Four characters and a few pages that's all it took for O. Henry to write this heart warming, touching, bittersweet short story. The themes of love, death, sacrifice are found in this short gem. I guess the last leaf symbolizes the last hope of life that people hold on to. It's a beautifully and simply written story.
