1. Archy And Mehitabel
"Archy and Mehitabel" is a humorous collection of free verse poems and stories written from the perspective of Archy, a cockroach who was once a poet and now types by diving headfirst onto a typewriter. Archy shares tales of his adventures and observations of human follies, alongside his companion, Mehitabel, a streetwise alley cat who claims to have been Cleopatra in a past life. The narrative explores themes of reincarnation, the struggles of existence, and the quirks of both human and animal life, all delivered with a blend of whimsy and satirical wit.
