The Inspiration for Guys and Dolls.

You're about to enter Runyonland - a world of gamblers, hustlers, misfits, and showgirls . . . some lovable, some not . . . the guys and dolls of New York's fabled Great White Way - Broadway in the 1930s and '40s.

Damon Runyon started as a poet, became a highly paid sportswriter and a war reporter, but he will always be known for the remarkable short stories he wrote that helped create and define the word "runyonesque". Using his real-life friendships with the high and low-lifes around Times Square, Runyon created a cynical, but dazzling, world that has been entertaining readers for almost 70 years, and was the basis for the fabled Broadway show, the legendary Guys and Dolls.

Here are Damon Runyon's most celebrated stories, introducing us to memorable characters such as Sky Masterson, Miss Sarah Brown, Little Pink, Dark Dolores, Dream Street Rose, and many others. With wit, humor and insight, Damon Runyon created the world of "good time" New York, which may be a bygone era, but will live forever in the stories of 'The Best Of Damon Runyon'.
