Brief eutopia on the moon. No poor. No war. Healthy, long-lived people. Structured class system with each class having a chief and with a monarch over all of them. Education in “learning, manual employment, and diversion” (9). Any dispute that went to court decided by five “middle aged personages” (10). Leisure described as taking place in a spacious garden where all classes of men and women mixed freely with areas for dancing, sports, and food. Language of the moon is Welsh.
