It exists as a friend work to his Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town (1912), because of the closeness of structure, and their topic. Arcadian Adventures follows the individuals from the 'Sepulcher Club' on Plutoria Avenue, in an anonymous American city (as a rule alluded to as Plutoria, after its central avenue), and makes fun of their fanatical independence and realism. As Leacock believed humor to be 'the compassionate examination of the confusions of life and the creative articulation thereof', Acardian Adventures will in general control marginally away from this type of 'sympathy', and, hence, positions as one of his most scorching works, just as apparently one of his most interesting.

At the hour of distribution, Arcadian Adventures turned out to be very mainstream in North America, and, for some time, was viewed as a better progress than Sunshine Sketches.
