Cabbages and KingsA series of stories which each explore some individual aspect of life in a paralytically sleepy Central American town while each advancing some aspect of the larger plot and relating back one to another in a complex structure which slowly explicates its own background even as it painstakingly erects a town which is one of the most detailed literary creations of the period. In this book, O. Henry coined the term "banana republic." |

the Walrus it shall come with most avail ; for in it there are indeed shoes and
ships and sealing - wax and cabbage - palms and presidents instead of kings .
