Summary

"Arcadian Adventures With the Idle Rich" by Stephen Leacock is a funny story that makes fun of rich people and their silly lives in the early 1900s. The story centers around the Mausoleum Club, a made-up place where the really wealthy hang out, and follows characters like Mr. Lucullus Fyshe and the Duke of Dulham. The book starts by showing how over-the-top and ridiculous things are at the club, and then uses these characters to explore the themes of wealth, special treatment, and how out of touch the upper class can be, all while making readers laugh at their foolishness.
