Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich, Version 2

Stephen Leacock (1869 - 1944)

A collection of humorous fiction by renowned Canadian writer, Stephen Leacock. Unlike the lighter Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town that preceded it, Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich 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
