This is the pre-pre-prequel to The Mouse That Roared, that lovely tale of tiny Grand Fenwick versus good old Uncle Sam. If you have ever wondered why the mythical duchy of Grand Fenwick retained the longbow as its official weapon, you must read this book. Long, long ago, before Professor Kokintz and his Q-Bomb, there were still weapons of terror - and ways to get around them.

Leonard Wibberley makes Grand Fenwick come alive as completely and delightfully in the middle ages as he does in the Twentieth Century. This is one of my all-time favorite books for plain old enjoyment.

Charming, witty, romantic and it has an action element too. Jean McGill's review of the book does it justice. It tells of the early days of the Duchy of Grand Fenwick during the time of knights and high chivalry. If the word delightful has not been used yet it should be. This book is my favorite of the Mouse series.
