Description James Smith drops in on Arcadia, where no-one tells lies, or grows older, where money is unheard of and unemployment a permanent attraction. Far from impressed by what Smith tells them of the joys of life in London his hosts despatch him, with missionary zeal and two agelessly beautiful Arcadian nymphs to convert the wretched metropolis.
