Description

By: Saki

When William Came by Saki is a thought-provoking and satirical novel that explores the societal upheaval caused by the sudden arrival of a foreign ruler named William. The story follows the reactions of various characters as they grapple with the changes brought about by William’s rule, including the restriction of freedoms and the imposition of strict new laws.

Saki’s writing is sharp and witty, filled with clever wordplay and biting humor that makes for an engaging read. The characters are well-drawn and complex, each reacting to the new regime in their own unique ways. The novel offers a scathing critique of imperialism and the dangers of authoritarian rule, while also delving into themes of patriotism, loyalty, and the nature of power.

Overall, When William Came is a compelling and darkly funny novel that will leave readers thinking long after they’ve finished it. Saki’s keen insight and sardonic wit make this a must-read for fans of satire and political fiction.

Book Description:

We have had many novels about alternate histories, often of the ‘What would have happened if Hitler had won the war’ type and this is another – except that this one is set in 1913 and the ‘William’ of the title is that old bogeyman ‘Kaiser Bill’. For some reason, at the height of Britain’s power, the fear of invasion was common at that time. (See ‘The Riddle of the Sands’, ‘The Battle of Dorking’, ‘Spies of the Kaiser’ or even ‘The War of the Worlds’)

WARNING:- Contains mild anti-semitism and jingoism typical of the period
