"Don Marquis has written an wonderful saga of Archy, a cockroach wanna be journalist , and his observations of Mehitable, a tramp cat who has already used up several of her alloted lives. I would love to sit down and have a cup of tea with Archy. He is such a great story teller and I'm sure he has more to say than what he has written in this book. Archy & Mehitable has been a favorite since I discovered it many, many, many years ago. Archy writes a warm, non-judgemental tale of Mehitable the cat who is totally irreverant and out of touch with reality. The style, no punctuation of capitals (Archy explains why) is a challenge at first, but gets very comfortable as you read along. It is hard to put down because of the anticipation of Mehitable's next adventure. It is also suitable for reading to children and a treat to see through their eyes."
