Roger Hargreaves (1935-1988) was a British author and illustrator of children's books, internationally known for the "Mr. Men and Little Miss" series. The idea for his first character, Mr. Tickle, was born when his son, Adam, asked him what a tickle looked like. Since then, he created dozens of lovable characters, each representing a human emotion or trait, teaching children the values of life with simplicity and humor.
