American writer and poet Carolyn Wells presented a fascinating guide to Arcadia, commonly referred to in poetry as Arcady. It refers to a concept of pastoralism and harmony with nature. Although widely thought of as being in line with Utopian dreams, Arcadia varies from that tradition as it is more often considered unattainable.

The writer skillfully covered Arcady's topography, climate, languages, amusements, politics, and many more. Moreover, this work includes wonderful illustrations to keep the readers engaged throughout.
