It all started with a tickle. Roger Hargreaves' son Adam asked him what a tickle looked like, so Roger drew a small orange man with extraordinarily long arms that could reach anywhere and tickle anyone. Roger went on to create many more Mr Men and Little Miss who have been delighting children and adults for generations. Sadly Roger passed away in 1988, but his son Adam took over the series, introducing new characters and exciting new adventures featuring the much-loved Mr Men and Little Miss.
