This author wrote a take on the traditional story “Stone Soup” titled “The Third Ingredient,” which has been turned into a kinetic novel. This author created a character whose mixed-race girlfriend is named Tonia Perez and whose real last may be name Goodall. In addition to creating that character, the Cisco Kid, this author wrote a book set in a fictional South American country, which he described though the first use of term “banana republic.” In addition to that work, which takes its title from a Lewis Carroll poem, this author wrote about the kidnapping of a child who the abductors find so troublesome that they return him to his father. An account of a homeless person who wishes to be convicted in order to obtain shelter and another in which one character’s hair is described as so beautiful it would have caused jealousy from the a biblical queen appear in a collection by this author titled for the population of New York City. For ten points, name this author of “The Ransom of Red Chief,” “The Cop and the Anthem," and “The Gift of the Magi,” the latter two of which appear in his collection The Four Million.
