Farshore has announced the acquisition of audio rights for Mr. Men Little Miss. The first four collections, based on the classic stories, are to be voiced by actor Blake Harrison, best known for his role as Neil in “The Inbetweeners.” Emma Cairns-Smith, global licensing acquisition director, Farshore, signed the worldwide deal with Silvia Figini, chief operating officer, Mr. Men – Worldwide, Sanrio Company. 

Each collection, coming on July 6, will feature eight funny audiobooks and includes characters such as Mr. Happy, Little Miss Sunshine, Mr. Silly and Little Miss Princess.  

“I grew up on Mr. Men Little Miss and love sharing them with my own children today, so it has been an absolute delight to bring these stories to life – from the mischief of Mr. Tickle to the joy of Little Miss Sunshine - with the wonderful audio team at Farshore,” says Harrison. 

“We’re beyond delighted to launching brand-new Mr. Men Little Miss audio this summer,” says Emily Campan, publisher, Farshore. “Our collections will offer something for everyone and will pair our inimitably entertaining stories with bespoke soundscapes designed to calm, motivate, and entertain young listeners. With the very talented and brilliantly funny Blake Harrison narrating, we can’t wait to get the Mr. Men Little Miss stories in the hands of even more children.”
