Oxford Bookworms Library: The Ransom of Red Chief… by Paul Shipton
This all started for me when I read Christopher Moore’s page-turner “Noir” . It mentions this story, by O. Henry, as it relates to a plot point in the book. I read the short story by O.

It gets the overall general point of the story, that is, a kidnapping gone wrong, actually, a kidnapping sort of in reverse! But this version doesn't quite capture the humor of O. Henry's original, which is quite a chuckle. Still, I'm grateful to Moore for setting me along this path, and I'm glad I read it!… (more)
