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.
