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 published in 1902.

If you haven't discovered Saki, I'm sorry, but I suspect that some fans who encountered this book in an edition of collected works were a little puzzled because the text was published without the original illustrations or a little political background. While The Westminster Alice is available as a pdf through Google Books, it can be a litlte cumbersome to read and to enjoy. I still like getting books I like as physical artifacts so I can share and enjoy them. This edition includes a strong introduction, helpful notes, and a thoughtful concluding essay. But most of all, there is Saki's wicked brand of humor, clear reproductions of the original illustrations, and an hommage to Alice that parodies the author's contemporary politics with a sensitivity for the rhythms and expression of the Real Alice. Saki would go on to become one of the greatest writers in the genre of short story and alternate history (see When William Came) and that is clear here!Product details
