Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich has both a timeless and timely relevance in the way Leacock sees through pretension and hypocrisy in the areas of education, politics, classism, naïve religion and spirituality—he also points the way to a better way of thinking and being. Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich is a Canadian classic one and all should read and inwardly digest to have even a minimal education as a Canadian and beyond.
