Summary

Originally published in a 1905 edition of The New York Sunday World, "The Gift of the Magi" tells the story of a young couple at Christmas when money is tight, offering important insight into the nature of gift giving. A well-known example of comic irony, it has been widely adapted as everything from an off-Broadway show to television episodes. This recording of "The Gift of the Magi" was recorded as part of Dreamscape's Classic Christmas Stories: A Collection of Timeless Holiday Tales.
