Product Details

Vintage hardcover copy of Archy and Mehitabel by Don Marquis, a classic collection of humorous and satirical free-verse writings that originally appeared in Marquis newspaper columns. The book follows Archy, a philosophical cockroach who types lowercase poems and observations on a typewriter, and Mehitabel, a spirited alley cat who claims she was Cleopatra in a past life. A witty, offbeat piece of vintage American literature with humor, satire, poetry, and early 20th-century New York character. Black hardcover with yellow/gold cover design and illustrated title page. Vintage condition with age-related wear.
