#13 - Archy and Mehitabel

Archy and Mehitabel, by Don Marquis, is told by Archy, a cockroach who hijacks a typewriter at the New York Sun. Archy, obviously cannot work the shift, so no capitals or punctuation marks appears, though he sometimes types them out. Archy and Mehitabel is a collection of Archy's poetry, primarily about his friend, Mehitabel the Cat. Don Marquis introduced Archy in his column, "The Sun Dial", in 1916. Archy and Mehitabel is the first collection of Archy (or should I write archy s) columns. A fun read, may be difficult for very young readers.
