A poet in a former life, Archy has been reincarnated as a cockroach who types by diving headfirst onto a typewriter (and is famously unable to operate the shift key to produce capital letters) his sidekick Mehitabel is an alley cat who claims to have once been Cleopatra. Archys poems irresistibly evoke Jazz Age New York as seen from the alley funny, wise, tender and tough, they represent the very best of American humour. Including George Herrimans whimsical illustrations and a classic introduction by novelist E.B. White, this Pocket Poet selection will make a beautiful volume, perfectly sized for its tiny hero.
