About this book

In the early 20th century, as political tensions simmered in Britain, Hector H. Munro, known as Saki, crafted "The Westminster Alice," a sharp political parody that reimagines the whimsical world of Lewis Carroll’s classic. This satirical work employs the familiar character of Alice to critique the absurdities of contemporary politics, highlighting the folly of governance and the absurdity of parliamentary procedures. With its incisive commentary on the nature of power and the role of the media, "The Westminster Alice" serves as a vital resource for students, civic activists, and historians alike. Dive into this clever exploration of unalienable rights and the intricacies of political discourse, and discover how humor can illuminate the serious issues of its time.
