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.
