A Week in Literary HistoryJuly 29th, 2002 Immortal American journalist and novelist Don Marquis (archy and mehitabel, 1927) is born in 1878 in Walnut, Ill.
An indefatigable writer of stories, poems, and plays, Marquis made his name early in the twentieth century with humorous newspaper columns in first The New York Sun and then the Herald Tribune. His place in history, however, was insured with the publication of archy and mehitabel in 1930 and its companion books in the years to follow. The stories of the cockroach author archy and his pal mehitabel, a down-at-the-heels lady cat, are as fresh today as when they were written. Be sure to get copies with the original illustrations by George Herriman. Suggested Reading archy and mehitabel, 1930. archy s life of mehitabel, 1933. archy does his part, 1935. the lives and times of archy and mehitabel, 1943.
