Narrator, Mr. Happy, Mr. Nosey, Mr. Daydream, Mr. Forgetful, Mr. Jelly, Mr. Noisy, Mr. Mean, Mr. Dizzy, Mr. Tall, Mr. Wrong, Mr. Mischief, Mr. Slow, Mr. Brave, and Additional Voices By 1976, Hargreaves had quit his day job. In 1981, the Little Miss series of books began to appear. It, too, was made into a television series in 1983, which was narrated by John Alderton, who, with Pauline Collins, voiced the Men and Misses, respectively. Although Hargreaves wrote many other children's stories, including the Timbuctoo series of twenty-five books, John Mouse, and the Roundy and Squary books, he is best known for his 46 Mr. Men books and 33 Little Miss books. Mr. Jelly is called Mr. Nervous in the USA and Canada since "jelly" in those countries refers not to the wobbly, gelatin-based dessert but to a form of fruit preserve made from boiled fruit juice and sugar, so it doesn't carry the same association with nervousness. This name change made it into one adaptation in both territories. British Brevity: The original 1970s Mr Men series ran for two seasons of 13-15 episodes, while the 1980s Little Miss series ran for one season of the same length. This was conveniently enough to adapt most of the books made at that point in time however.
