What-a-Mess

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What-a-Mess is a series of children's books written by British comedy writer Frank Muir and illustrated by Joseph Wright. It was later made into an animated series by Disney and aired on ABC in the United States. The title character is an filthy (hence his nick name), accident-prone Afghan Hound puppy, whose real name was Prince Amir of Kinjan. Central TV, Link Licensing & Bevanfield Films produced the first series and DiC Entertainment produced the second series. Both of them were narrated by Frank Muir.
