Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hector Hugh Munro (1870-1916), better known by the pen name Saki and also as H H Munro, was a British writer whose witty and sometimes macabre stories satirize Edwardian society and culture. The Westminster Alice, a collection of vignettes published by the Westminster Gazette in 1902, is a political parody of Lewis Carroll's two Alice books. It is critical of the politics of the day, of which Alice tries to make sense, and a number of notable British politicians are identified in the book including Joseph Chamberlain as the Queen of Hearts, the Red Queen and the Mad Hatter, and Arthur Balfour as the White Queen and the March Hare. The book includes 48 drawings after the originals by John Tenniel which were drawn by Francis Carruthers Gould (1844-1925), a highly regarded caricaturist and political cartoonist who contributed to the Westminster Gazette and later acted as its assistant editor.

Book excerpt: The Westminster Alice is a collection of humorous vignettes by Saki, first published in the Westminster Gazette in 1902, which form a political pastiche of the Alice books by Lewis Carroll, featuring an unforgettable cast of notable politicians of the day, and brought to life with illustrations by F. Carruthers Gould - 'with apologies to Sir John Tenniel' for their striking likeness to the original Alice illustrations. Desperately trying to navigate her way through the world of Ineptitudes, Knights, Queens and Mad Hatters, Alice delivers a stinging satire of Westminster politics - which, imbued with Saki's charm and delicate wit, and set in a world evocative of Carroll's timeless Wonderland, is as charming today as when it was written, and belongs on every Alice fan's bookshelf.

Download or read book The Westminster Alice written by Hector Hugh Munro and published by Brouwer Press. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by H. H. Munro was originally published in 1912 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Westminster Alice' is a collection of satirical sketches, including 'Alice in Lambeth', 'Alice in Pall Mall', 'Alice in a Fog', and many more. Hector Hugh Munro was born in Akyab, Burma in 1870. He was raised by aunts in North Devon, England, before returning to Burma in his early twenties to join the Colonial Burmese Military Police. Later, Munro returned once more to England, where he embarked on his career as a journalist, becoming well-known for his satirical 'Alice in Westminster' political sketches, which appeared in the Westminster Gazette. Arguably better-remembered by his pen name, 'Saki', Munro is now considered a master of the short story, with tales such as 'The Open Window' regarded as examples of the form at its finest.

Download or read book Alice in Westminster written by Rachel Reeves and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alice Bacon was one of the twentieth-century's most remarkable female politicians. Born and raised in the Yorkshire town of Normanton, she defied the odds to be elected Labour MP for Leeds North East in the 1945 General Election. Famed in her home town for her unlikely love of sports cars, she was a much-respected, no-nonsense, hard-working representative for her beloved Yorkshire home in Westminster. Mentored by Herbert Morrison and Hugh Gaitskell, she rose through the party becoming a Home Office minister under Roy Jenkins and latterly an Education Minister with responsibility for the introduction of comprehensive schools. In the Home Office in the 1960s she oversaw the introduction of substantial societal changes, including the abolition of the death penalty, the decriminalisation of homosexuality and the legalisation of abortion. Her political career spanned some of the most momentous decades in Britain's postwar history and she played an integral part in some of the most significant social, educational and political changes which the country has ever witnessed.Labour MP Rachel Reeves here tells Alice Bacon's story, narrating one woman's extraordinary progression from the coalfields to the Commons.
