The Westminster Alice (1902) - Hector H Munro - Bog

Bag om 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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
