re-reading (for the millionth time?) February 2021. Mrs. Jones attempts to prepare for an important social event while being tortured by mice, Arabel celebrates a birthday, the Jones' go on vacation, and the town is plagued by menacing prank phone calls. Mortimer continues to eat everything.
Review, April 2011:
my sister read these to me when i was a little kid and they're just as great to me now. i believe this is the third book about little arabel and her unorthodox pet- a raven named mortimer who gets into no end of trouble.

Very funny, charming, delightful. I liked it better than the Wolves of Willoughby Chase.

Possibly even funnier than "Arabel's Raven". Aiken's books about Mortimer are to be savored.

The description of Archibald the cat sleeping on the painstakingly assembled meringues made me cringe and laugh. Then I howled when Archibald appears to Mortimer covered with sticky crumbs and feathers and they proceed to have a friendly tussle followed by an ecstatic grooming session. Tears of joy.
