A poet in a former life, Archy was reincarnated as a bug who expresses himself by diving headfirst onto a typewriter. His sidekick Mehitabel is a streetwise feline who claims to have been Cleopatra in a previous life. As E. B. White wrote in his now-classic introduction, the Archy poems “contain cosmic reverberations along with high comedy” and have “the jewel-like perfection of poetry.”Adorned with George Herriman’s whimsical illustrations and including White’s introduction, our Pocket Poets selection—the only hardcover Archy and Mehitabel in print—is a beautiful volume, and perfectly sized for its tiny hero.","brand":"Don Marquis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48693736210723,"sku":"9780307700926","price":12.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/5437\/3411\/files\/9780307700926_p0_v1_s600x595.jpg?v=1718571915","url":"https:\/\/glenthebookhouse.com\/products\/the-best-of-archy-and-mehitabel-don-marquis","provider":"BOOKDP4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
