description: A biography of William Sydney Porter, the famous American short story writer who had an eventful life and was in his time one of the most popular authors of his generation. This book was first published in 1957 and was the first biography to make a full study of Porter's private life, especially in relation to his unfortunate trial for embezzlement --he was almost certainly an innocent in the case, but being sent to prison inspired him to write, and he never looked back after that.
