A character from the age of four, Little Mike is one of Henry Miller's favorite children at Big Sur, CA. He is elfin, gentle, contained, and silent. He spends a week in the Miller house and is a pleasure, agreeing to everything, and able to dicker anything he wants. He is absorbed with common objects and can mend anything that breaks. He stands in sharp contrast with Miller's son, Tony.
