Description

In Cabbages and Kings (1904), American author O. Henry tells a series of tales, all of which take place in the coastal town of Coralio, in an imaginary Central American Republic called Anchuria (think Manchuria without the 'M'). The 18 chapters involve recurring themes, including politics, international affairs, commerce, and society. The overarching storyline concerns the townsfolk, who struggle to bring the fallen Anchurian president to justice. The stories also tell of the mystery of a stash of stolen cash from the federal reserve. Other stories about local life and the predicaments of townsfolk are also intermingled.
