Tintin's moon trip was excellent, but I still think the best was in >Wicksteed's _The Mouse on the Moon_ in which Grand Fenwick visits the
moon in a ship powered by nuclear wine and arrives before the Americans
and Russians.

A film I found both sillier and more entertaining than the original.
That would be Wibberley, who also wrote a few SF juveniles that I recall >fondly: _Encounter Near Venus_ & _Journey to Untor_.

Indeed. Next on the shelf to Wicksteed from the Daily News. But not
same Brit.
I had no idea there was a film made of the book. I watched the trailer
on youtube and I have to admit it does not look appealing.
The Mouse That Roared remains one of my favorite novels, and I found The Mouse on the Moon to be very good as well.

I also like both of those, and I never met anyone else who'd read them before.
The Mouse on the Moon is probably my favorite of the two, but they're
both good.

Have you read any of the other "Mouse" novels, by chance? I have not,
and while I wouldn't expect them to be as good as the two we've
mentioned, I'm still curious.

I have read _The Mouse on Wall Street_ ... checks bibliography ... I had never heard of _The Mouse that Saved the West_. As for the prequel, an acquaintance decades ago mentioned a story of the early Duchy of Grand Fenwick - that might be _Beware of the Mouse_.

All interesting - thanks. How was The Mouse on Wall Street for you?
