Publisher's Synopsis

The Westminster Alice is a satirical book written by Hector H. Munro in 1902. The book is a parody of Lewis Carroll's famous novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Munro's book follows Alice as she navigates the political landscape of Westminster, the seat of British government. The book is filled with witty commentary on the political figures of the time, including Prime Minister Arthur Balfour and opposition leader Henry Campbell-Bannerman. Munro's version of Alice encounters characters such as the Cheshire Cat, who is portrayed as a scheming politician, and the Mad Hatter, who is a member of the House of Commons. The book is a humorous and biting critique of the British political system and its key players. The Westminster Alice is a must-read for anyone interested in political satire and a unique take on one of the most beloved stories in literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
