This Animal Is Mischievous

This Animal Is Mischievous is a 1965 novel by David Benedictus.

It is a satire about a British brother and sister who become involved in a battle between black activists and a fascist group.

According to Time, the author's "discursive, Edwardian elegance of style is amusingly suited to satirizing upper-class pretentiousness, but his Negro characters are simply stereotypes and his twittering wittiness collapses at last into sentimentality.

"[1] The novel was also reviewed in the Los Angeles Times,[2] Commonweal, The Spectator and other publications.
