	BookPage Review: Turnaway
		There are many such places in literature, creations like the Duchy of Grand Fenwick in Leonard Wibberley's The Mouse That Roared, a tiny English-speaking enclave that the author somehow managed to shoehorn into the middle of polyglot Europe.
		At 20 square acres, it is tinier even than Grand Fenwick, and, in its ordinariness, less comical than that Ruritanian duchy.
		Grand Fenwick was intended to entertain us and make us laugh.

		About Grand Fenwick, I’d argue that Gloriana XII supports my comparison, though there certainly is more than one country in Grand Fenwick’s creation: the Alpine location supports your Lichtenstein contention, and there’s a lot of Little England thrown in the mix along with the very non-English focus on viniculture.
