Mr Mensh Books
I’m not sure that the estate of Roger
Hargreaves would give permission but
sometimes I lie in bed imagining a
special series to go with the Mr Men
books...they’re Mr Mensh books,
a tribute to my parents and
all the words they called me.
Some people are going to meet for a meal.
Let's say it's a meeting.
At Mr Kvell's place.
Remember him. He comes later:
