About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich, Version 2 by Stephen Leacock. Read in English by Winnifred Assmann. 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
