Meow, My name is Milo and I am a brown cat. I am a gregarious kitten and I’ve got many friends: a parrot, a dog called Max, Missy who is a cat, and even Lemon. Do you want to know who Lemon is? You will get to know about that from this book. Have you heard that all cats walk their own way? I am not an exception. You have no idea how many interesting places I’ve visited. I was in the library, at school and even on tennis courts. Everywhere I went, I had a lot of adventures, which I describe in this book. By the way, my lady is Julia. She goes to the third grade of junior school. She helped me a little in writing this book. She has also authored all the drawings. I hope you will enjoy them. I wish you a pleasant reading. Milo

'Inge has presented with astounding veracity the oppressive banality of the lives of his characters: the events of their lives have the nerve-lightening regularity of a dripping faucet. His female characters especially are engulfed by the bathos of their lives, and Inge capitalizes on this fact in order to heighten dramatically the moment of personal crisis which comes to each of them. In his four major successes--Come Back, Little Sheba; Picnic; Bus Stop; and The Dark at the Top of the Stairs--the play carries the audience through the moment of crisis; and the final curtain falls upon a note of hope and fulfillment.'--R. Baird Shuman
