Description: Wonderful antique book "The Lover's Baedeker And Guide To Arcady". By Carolyn Wells. With Twenty Illustrations And A Cover By A. D. Blashfield and Maps by George W. Hood. New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company Publishers, 1912. First Edition. Pictorial Hard Cover binding. ix, 115 pp. Measures 7 1/4" x 5 1/4". Very scarce book. Long out-of-print. Wells' book is a work of romantic fiction: here she describes a land called Arcady in the kingdom of Arcadia, where lovers can go to experience romantic bliss after being serenaded by cherubs and the smell of the local flowers. There is a cherub in nearly every illustration. Following the usual plan of the Baedeker travel guides, the American mystery author Carolyn Wells (1862-1942) leads the reader through the fantasy city of Arcady, inhabited by the Lovers. Divided into different aspects of Arcady, such as its history, geography, flora, fauna, and culture, this work contains practical advice for lovers, such as how to plan a romantic picnic, how to choose the perfect spot for a proposal, and how to write love letters.
