(1958)
(The second book in the Grand Fenwick series)
A novel by

 
 
A prequel to the bestselling classic The Mouse That Roared. Set in the year 1450, the tiny Duchy of Grand Fenwick, ruled by the benevolent and noble Sir Roger and armed with its army of expert longbowmen, had existed peacefully without threat of invasion for decades. But when a rascally Irish Knight stumbles across its borders with news that the French were set to attack and that they had a new weapon of mass destruction called "the cannon," the Irishman and Sir Roger must find a way to drop their differences and fight together, a feat made even more difficult when Sir Roger's daughter, the Lady Matilda becomes unduly enamored in the Irish newcomer. The Mouse That Roared was made into a successful feature film in 1959 starring Peter Sellers. "A rousing tale full of nimble wit and sound scaffolding... A spoof with sense and sensibility." - Boston Sunday Herald "Although completely different than the other books in the series, Beware of the Mouse might be the best of the lot!" - Goodreads Review "My personal favorite of the Mouse series, even beyond the original The Mouse that Roared. 5 Stars!" - LibraryThing Review
