The Westminster Alice (1902)

The Westminster Alice is a book written by Hector H. Munro in 1902. It is a satirical take on Lewis Carroll's famous novel, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The book is divided into chapters, each of which parodies a different aspect of British politics and society at the turn of the 20th century. The main character, Alice, is portrayed as a young girl who stumbles upon a secret passage that leads her to the Houses of Parliament. There, she meets a cast of characters who are caricatures of real-life politicians and public figures, including Prime Minister Arthur Balfour and Queen Victoria. The book is full of witty commentary and clever wordplay, and offers a humorous look at the political and social climate of the time. The Westminster Alice is a must-read for fans of Lewis Carroll's original work, as well as anyone interested in British history and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
