Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich, Version 2
Author: first_name: Stephen
last_name: Leacock
Language: English
Year: 1914

A collection of humorous fiction by renowned Canadian writer, Stephen Leacock. Unlike the lighter <i>Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town</i> that preceded it, <i>Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich</i> was a darker collection satirizing city life. Mr. Leacock had a gift for spotting the foibles of humanity and accentuating them to the point of ridiculousness. - Summary by Winnifred Assmann
