"The Westminster Alice" by Hector H. Munro (known as Saki) is a satirical work that falls under the category of political parody, written in the early 20th century. The book cleverly reinterprets the whimsical elements of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," using Alice's character to navigate and critique the political landscape of Edwardian Britain. The story serves as a humorous commentary on the absurdities and intricacies of politics during that time. In "The Westminster Alice," readers follow Alice as she ventures through various political arenas, encountering a cast of characters inspired by historical and political figures. For instance, Alice interacts with quirky representations of government officials and political parties as she explores locations such as Downing Street and the House of Lords. Each chapter features distinct encounters where Alice, often bewildered, engages in nonsensical yet pointed dialogues, revealing the challenges and follies of political life. The tales are imbued with Saki’s characteristic wit, exposing the often ludicrous nature of the bureaucracy and political machinations of his day, all while maintaining a playful, fantasy-like atmosphere reminiscent of Carroll’s original works.
