When William Came: A Story Of London Under The Hohenzollerns (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163856765)

When William Came is a novel written by H.H. Munro, also known as Saki, and published in 1913. The story is set in London in the early 20th century and imagines a future in which Germany has won World War I and now rules over Britain under the Hohenzollern dynasty. The novel follows the lives of various characters, including a young couple, a politician, and a journalist, as they navigate the new political and social order imposed by the Germans. The book is a satirical commentary on British society and politics at the time, as well as a warning against the dangers of militarism and imperialism. Munro's sharp wit and clever writing make When William Came an entertaining and thought-provoking read.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
