Ages ago, I ran a poll named Which Mr Men or Little Miss is who in Mr Men: A Christmas Carol? Here are the real answers.
Scrooge - Mr Mean
ceriwytch, anne_l_davies, missmagic all correct.
suziehill plumped for Mr Greedy, gowhonker put down Mr Grumpy.
Bob Cratchit - Mr Happy
No wrong answers here, although some skipped it.
Ghost of Christmas Past - Mr Nosey
No-one got this. It's not Mr Daydream, Mr Messy, Mr Forgetful or Mr Tickle.
Mr Nosey is a quite clever choice here - who else could remind Mr Mean that his previous Christmas had been spent all alone? Had to be someone that would put his nose in.
Ghost of Christmas Present - Little Miss Wise
Again, no-one got this. It's not even the previously rare Mr Christmas.
Little Miss Wise can work out what the near future will be like. Dreams don't have to be logical, but this one makes sense to me.
Ghost of Christmas Future - Little Miss Bossy
Again no-one guessed it.
This is a slight twist to the tale - rather than just letting Mr Mean work out that it's not a good thing for Mr Happy to be renamed Mr Sad in a possible future, the third ghost is quite direct about it being all Mr Mean's fault. So Little Miss Bossy works well here.
So let that be a lesson to us all - don't underpay the people who work in your piggy bank factory.
The winner was Anne, by the magic semi-cheating method of a second tie-breaker chance in real life denied to people not in the same room as me a month or two back. She got one of the two copies of Mr Men A Christmas Carol that I bought on some sort of Waterstone's deal. I am keeping the other, which makes more sense than it previously did.

What a lot of Mr Men there are

Roger Hargreaves' son continues to release Mr Men books. This year we get Mr Men: A Christmas Carol, a simple mapping of the story to the Mr Men-verse using established characters as themselves. Intriguingly, it seems to be canon.
There's no Jacob Marley or Tiny Tim, but who (without looking at Amazon or Wikipedia etc) do you think are the other players? Prize to the person who gets the most right.
