Mr. Happy (Mr. Men Classic Story Books)

Product Information

After the scene has been established, Mr. Happy goes for a walk whereupon (and with a nod to the great CS Lewis) he discovers a tiny red door in the trunk of a tree. Behind the door is a small room in which we meet Mr. Happy's alter-ego, Mr. Miserable. 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. He was redesigned briefly during the 1980's, to feature a red cap. He has never been seen wearing this cap in any media past the 1980's. Happy, we are told, lives in a land called "Happyland" in which all the people, the birds, even the worms are happy. One begins to wonder if our hero is a member of some kind of cult. The next notion is that perhaps My. Happy is under the influence of some kind of narcotic which makes him THINK that the birds and the worms are conversing with him and confirming that they too are enjoying life to the full. So many questions and (given that this is short-form fiction) so little time for answers.

Mr. Happy: The Brilliantly Funny Classic Children’s

Voice Actors: Arthur Lowe (1975-1978), John Alderton (1983), Gordon Peters ( Mr. Men and Little Miss, UK), Len Carlson ( Mr. Men and Little Miss, US dub), Simcha Barbiro ( Mr. Men and Little Miss, Hebrew dub) Although he wants other people to be happy, in the books, he was nearly always happy in the series. He tends to hide his other emotions (sadness, fear, anger, etc.) behind his grin. An example of this was in " Boats" was when Mr. Happy had a smile to remain positive when the S.S. Stubborn was sinking. Despite being redesigned to have a more shaped head, starting from his reappearance in Little Miss Hug's story, he appears in his original design. However, this is only in merchandise and corporate photos.

Whether Miserable actually exists, or is just a manifestation of the buried emotional distress, doubts and fears of Mr. Happy - that's left up to the reader to decide. However, to diagnose our hero as suffering from schizophrenia would be perfectly justified - and the classic 'voices in the head' symptom would certainly solve the talking birds/worms quandary. He had a nightmare about him with no food in one episode of Mr. Men and Little Miss titled " No food is no fun for Mr. Greedy". In the original books, Mr. Happy is the series' mascot, but in the show, that status is given to Mr. Bump.
