The stories centre on archy, a philosopher cockroach who types messages to the author in lowercase letters (he is unable to use the typewriter's shift key), and mehitabel, a free-spirited alley-cat whose motto is "Toujours gai." archy and mehitabel contains free-verse poems on a variety of archy's concerns, such as the transmigration of souls, social injustice, life in New York City, and death. archy claims to have been a poet in another existence. mehitabel claims to be a reincarnation of Cleopatra, but now her wild adventures result only in litters of kittens. The book has become a cult classic over the years and has never been out of print. Galileo is delighted to publish a new edition. The illustrations are by George Herriman (1880-1944), the originator of the legendary Krazy Kat cartoon strip, and a huge influence on many cartoonists who followed him, particularly the 1960's Robert Crumb.

Archy, a New York City cockroach, and Mehitabel, a New York City alley cat, were characters created by "The Evening Sun" columnist Donald Robert Perry Marquis. The subject of hundreds of humorous poems and stories, Archy is portrayed as having been a free verse poet in a previous life who takes to writing stories and poems on an old typewriter at the office of a newspaper after everyone has gone home. Archy's best friend is the alley cat Mehitabel with whom the cockroach shares a series of daily adventures which serve as a satiric commentary on the daily life of New York City in the 1920s and 1930s. Archy's poems are notable for the fact that they don't use capital letters since as a cockroach he cannot simultaneously hold down the shift key while he hurls himself at the keys to type away on the old typewriter. Don Marquis's Archy and Mehitabel poems were first published as a collection in 1927. This edition reproduces that first collection and is printed on premium acid-free paper.
