Black has acted in Australia and New Zealand in television and movies. She portrayed a transgender woman named Jill Mayhew in the Australian television series Good Guys, Bad Guys. She had a leading role in the New Zealand soap opera City Life playing the role of Greek lawyer Angela Kostapas.
Black gained international recognition for her role in Farscape and was nominated for a Saturn Award in the Best Actress category in 2001, 2002 and 2005, winning in the latter. She has appeared in the feature films Queen of the Damned and Pitch Black. After Farscape ended, Black appeared as Vala Mal Doran in the Stargate SG-1 episode “Prometheus Unbound”; her performance was well-received and she was invited to reprise her role in the show’s ninth season when series regular Amanda Tapping went on maternity leave. Black returned to the series as a regular cast member for the tenth and final season and also starred in Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum films that wrapped up the series’ story lines. Black co-starred with Ben Browder in both series.
Mr. Men is a British series of children’s books written and illustrated by English author Roger Hargreaves which began publication in August 1971. From 1981, an accompanying series of Little Miss books by the same author (but with female characters) was published. A similar series of animal characters known as Timbuctoo started in 1978. After Hargreaves’s death in 1988, his son Adam Hargreaves began writing and illustrating new Mr. Men and Little Miss stories.
Each book in the original Mr. Men and Little Miss series introduced a different title character and their single dominant personality trait to convey a simple moral lesson. The Mr. Men and Little Miss characters frequently reappeared in other characters’ books. As of 2021, a total of 92 Mr. Men and Little Miss characters had been featured in the series. The books’ simple stories, with brightly colored, boldly drawn illustrations, have sold over 100 million copies worldwide across 28 countries.
Mr. Grumble is the forty-first book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves. He was created by two writers, Viviane Cohen and Evelyne Lallemand and an illustrator, Colette David.
Mr. Grumble’s name suited him perfectly. Every morning, he would grumble, and he would grumble every afternoon as he walked through the countryside—though he hated the countryside. One day, however, someone very special saw him: a wizard who suddenly appeared by magic! Mr. Grumble hated wizards who appeared by magic, but this wizard was unique. He had a particular dislike for people who grumbled and moaned, so much so that he would turn them into little pigs!
