Inspiration for Mr Men books becomes their creator

CHILDREN’S favourites, the Mr Men, are being revived with the creation of six new characters, it was revealed yesterday.

The adventures of Mr Cool, Mr Rude, Mr Good, Little Miss Bad, Little Miss Scary and Little Miss Whoops are the first additions to the series in 15 years.

The original books were created by Roger Hargreaves, who died in 1988. Now his son Adam has written and drawn six new characters, to be released later this year.
