First published in 1927, <i>Archy and Mehitabel </i>has become a celebrated part of the twentieth-century American literary canon.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Don Marquis (1878-1937) was a journalist and columnist in New York City and the author of several novels, short-story collections, and plays.
