Summary: "The Lover's Baedeker and Guide to Arcady" by Carolyn Wells is a whimsical travel guide written in the early 20th century, specifically in the early 1910s. This light-hearted book serves as an imaginative exploration of a romantic, fictional land known as Arcady, presenting itself as both a guidebook and a poetic tribute to love and romance. The likely topic of the book centers around the enchanting experiences and whimsical landscapes that lovers may encounter in this idealized realm. The content of the book takes the reader on a delightful journey through Arcady, introducing various charming locations, including the capital town of Arcady, its enchanting flora, notable landmarks, and romantic customs. The narrative blends poetic verse with humorous insights, portraying a fantastical place where love rules supreme, and time becomes a subjective experience. Readers encounter the whimsical inhabitants of Arcady — lovers and poets — engage in clever wordplay related to love, and learn the "Language of Flowers." This guide also features a satirical look at societal views on romance through institutional quirks, amusing poems, and playful laws of love, inviting readers to savor the blissful and sometimes chaotic nature of romantic relationships.
