Top-hatted liar and pink-haired character who never knows what the day will bring are added to classic series of children’s books
Mr Fib and Little Miss Surprise will become the latest characters to feature in the beloved Mr Men picture book series.
Mr Fib is a round, green character with a blue top hat who “fibs to impress people”, and the story will follow him as his fibs get out of hand and upset his friends. Meanwhile, the Little Miss Surprise book is about a purple, pink-haired character who “never knows what each day may bring” and takes Mr Quiet on a surprising day out.
Roger Hargreaves began the Mr Men series when Adam asked him what a tickle looked like, and he drew a small orange man with long wiggly arms in response. Other than providing that inspiration, Adam Hargreaves was not involved in the series in any way until after his father died suddenly aged 53, after a stroke.
In April 2004, Roger Hargreaves’s widow, Christine, sold the rights to the Mr Men characters to the UK entertainment group Chorion for £28m.
