The Four Million

The Four Million is O. Henry’s New York of ordinary lives—written when the city numbered roughly four million souls, and aimed squarely against the notion that only four hundred people mattered. Shop girls, clerks and chance encounters fill these stories with sympathy, irony and the trademark snap ending. It remains his most beloved celebration of the unnoticed.

This special edition has been created with accessibility in mind. It features a fully adjustable coloured overlay system designed to support readers with Irlen Syndrome, dyslexia, or visual stress. By reducing visual strain and allowing each reader to customise their experience, this edition makes O. Henry’s affectionate narrative more comfortable and enjoyable to read.

Rediscover the metropolitan warmth and surprise of The Four Million in a format thoughtfully crafted to be more inclusive for all readers.
