'''''The Mouse That Roared''''' is a 1955 novel by Irish-American author Leonard Wibberley, which was adapted into a 1959 film starring [[Peter Sellers]], [[William Hartnell]], and Jean Seberg.
 
Lodged between France and Switzerland lies the Duchy of Grand Fenwick, a [[Micro Monarchy|tiny monarchy]] founded by an English adventurer during the Middle Ages. The local economy is entirely dependent on the one product that Fenwick exports, its trademark Pinot Grand Fenwick wine. However, when an American company throws a copycat product on the market ("Pinot Grand Enwick"), the statelet is threatened by bankruptcy.
