The Mouse That Saved The West: ebook Edition (The Grand Fenwick Series 4)
by Leonard Wibberley
The Grand Fenwick Series, Book 4
Again and again the tiny Duchy of Grand Fenwick, which lies in a fold in the Alps, has saved the world from disaster.
As recorded in The Mouse That Roared, this little country, three miles wide and five miles long, prevented a nuclear holocaust by declaring war on the United States. Later Peter Sellers was to star in a film re-creating those momentous times.
And then the small Duchy saved the moon for mankind, as related in The Mouse on the Moon, when it reached there before the U.S. or the U.S.S.R. Once again it came to the rescue by taking and burning all the printed money in the United States, thus keeping the world's economy from collapse. This is still another story unaccountably left out of the history books but portrayed in The Mouse on Wall Street.
Now we bring you the Duchy's most extraordinary achievement, the defeat of OPEC and the happy solution to the world's oil crisis, which came about through the best that international diplomacy has to offer: duplicity and dumb luck. And it all began when the Count of Mountjoy, the prime minister of Grand Fenwick, was unable to get a hot bath because of the fuel shortage. In The Mouse That Saved the West, we also meet the captivating Duchess of Grand Fenwick, Gloriana XII; an international oil magnate so powerful that hardly anyone knows his name; an unbelievably wealthy sheik; famous heads of state; and a state that seems to be always losing its head.
