See all formats and editions

Gloriana XII--The Original Wolf of Wall Street.

In this hilarious sequel to The Mouse That Roared, Grand Fenwick is at it again, this time upsetting the world's economy. The tiny country's secret weapon this time is its Grand Pinot chewing gum. When sales boom during an anti-smoking campaign, Grand Fenwick's investment is suddenly worth millions.

In an attempt to rid Grand Fenwick of its crippling budget surplus, Duchess Gloriana XII decides the stock market is the perfect place to lose it all. Instead, she makes millions more and ends up wreaking havoc on the world economy.

Never has "the money game" been more deliciously exposed than in this ingenious satire.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Wibberley is in great form. For imaginative story-telling and funny but meaningful satire this latter-day Swift is unbeatable."
- Los Angeles Times

"About the time it seems funny, the reader suddenly realizes it isn't so much fiction as truth..."
- The Nashville Banner

"This new book is an absolute delight."
- Chicago Tribune

"...a cautionary lesson, which Mr. Wibberley spells out with admirable clarity and wit."
- The New York Times

"Irish-born Leonard Wibberley has frequently been acclaimed the greatest satirist since Voltaire...and well he might be."
- Financial Analysts Journal

"This is a typical Wibberley book, which means it's charming, witty, and direct in its satirical aim at the world we live in."
- The Huntington Herald

"What could have been just a cute fable is a masterpiece of satire as conglomerates conglomerate and the world wobbles on the tip of Wibberley's pen."
- The St. Paul Pioneer Press

Leonard Wibberley was born in Dublin Ireland, in 1915. He was the sixth child of a schoolteacher and an agricultural scientist. When he was nine, his family moved to London. Seven years later, when his father died, he went to work as a stockroom apprentice for a publisher and later became a reporter. After various jobs, he came to the United States in 1943 and engaged in newspaper work for ten years. While working for the Los Angeles Times, he published his first work, The King's Beard. Three years later he published his most successful book, The Mouse That Roared, which was serialized in The Saturday Evening Post, and later made into a classic film starring Peter Sellers.
Wibberley lived in Hermosa Beach from 1949 until his death in 1983. He wrote over 100 books and 100's of newspaper articles. He was also an adventurer, who enjoyed traveling, scuba diving, ocean sailing, and road racing. He also enjoyed playing the violin, painting and shouting at his six kids.
Leonard also wrote mysteries, juvenile fiction, historical novels, and non-fiction under the pen names Leonard Holton, Patrick O'Connor, and Christopher Webb.

Douglas Adams writes about the 2008 Financial Crisis ... in 1969?

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2017

Watch the movie version of The Mouse That Roared (how can you go wrong with Peter Sellers?) then read this book.
The impetus of this book is a consequence of the first story, occurring 14 years after the end of the first story.
(Mouse that Roared ~ 1955 and Mouse on Wall Street ~ 1969)

In summary, the Duchy of Grand Fenwick must get rid of a large windfall of money before it destroys their entire economy.
No, you read that correctly. In the process of ridding themselves of their bundle of inflation, events snowball, and the economies of every nation on the planet threaten to collapse. (Except North Korea. Apparently, even in 1969 North Korea lacked any economy to speak of, so no change there.)

Wibberley does a great job of explaining the basic economics of inflation as well as why guaranteed minimum income not only does not eliminate poverty but actually worsens the plight of the working poor in the long run. He manages this in a hilarious manner as, to Wibberley, economics is just another human endeavor and all human endeavors are funny.

The author also shows how individuals, working separately and interpreting the best information available, actually manage to CREATE a global financial crisis.

Wibberley unintentionally shows us that, while the "times" may change (as demarcated primarily by a change in technologies used), humans and human endeavors really don't change all that much. Oh, and congratulations to all the "movers and shakers" out there. It took you almost 40 years to do it, but you finally managed to actualize an absurdist comedy written in 1969.

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2007

The Mouse That Roared was made into a popular movie with Peter Sellers. The Mouse on the Moon also made it to cinema. This third novel of Grand Fenwick, so far as I know, has yet to hit the silver screen. In my opinion it's not quite as funny as the others, but other factors kept me reading. Chief among these was the fact that Irish-born author Leonard Wibberly knows a lot about how finance works, and somehow managed to explain it clearly enough in this convuluted farce that even the economically challenged-- read: broke writers-- like myself could catch a glimmer of the mysteries of the dismal science.

For those who don't know, the Mouse in the title is a tiny country, Grand Fenwick, ruled by Duchess Gloriana XII and Count Mountjoy, although the Labor Candidate gets into office in this third novel. When the country's only profitable enterprise, a wine flavored gum made in the United States, begins to bring in a bankroll, Mountjoy sees the specter of mounting inflation, and schemes to get rid of the money. When the Duchess attempts to play the market in an attempt to buy worthless stocks, however, things go awry and in a comedy of errors she makes more and more of the green stuff until the world economy is in jeopardy.

It's all a bit of a lark but I got enough of a clue to be able to read the stock exchange page and have some inkling what's going on. If this one makes it to the movies,I'd picture someone like Eva Gabor (from Green Acres) as the Duchess: charming yet unleashing a whirlwind with her Wall Street speculations. Three cheers (and four stars) for the Meece.
