A satirical take on Alice in Wonderland, this work by Saki uses the familiar characters and whimsical style of Lewis Carroll's classic to comment on British politics in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Through clever parody, Alice encounters politicians and political issues of the time, offering sharp, humorous critiques of the Westminster establishment. Saki's wit shines in this blend of literary pastiche and political satire.
Hector Hugh Munro (1870-1916), better known by his pen name Saki, was a British writer, whose witty and sometimes macabre stories satirized Edwardian society and culture. The Westminster Alice is an illustrated Parliamentary parody of Alice in Wonderland first published in 1902.
