(Mr) Lysander Green

"Something about falling down a staircase and breaking both her legs." Lysander Green, referred to as "Mr. Green", is the father of the Green children. He works at a law firm helping rich people avoid paying their taxes, and is a very boring and uninteresting man. Mr. Green is 41 years old, originally believed to have been 51, until Nanny Piggins works out his actual age, as he went to school 25 years ago, so he would not be 51 years old after all.

Personality
Mr. Green is a very boring and uninteresting man. He works at a law firm where he helps rich people avoid paying their taxes, and is a lawyer. Mr. Green does not show any love or affection towards his children, often trying to palm them off by organizing to send them somewhere. Mr. Green's attempts at getting rid of his children always fail, as they are stopped by Nanny Piggins.

Mr. Green claims that he has a nut allergy until Nanny Piggins and the Rival Ringmaster, during which he admits to having lied about his allergy so he could make himself more interesting. However, he is unaware that no-one likes hearing about his nut allergy, and everyone finds it boring rather than interesting. This seems to alert the reader to the fact that Mr. Green considers himself a boring man.

Mr. Green is usually rude, arrogant and is very unobservant. He has yet to notice the ballet dancing bear in his shed, and is also completely oblivious to the fact that an African elephant is staying in his house in "Nanny Piggins and the Rival Ringmaster." Mr. Green has also been described as overweight. He has no remorse for doing what he has done, unless it means that he must spend time with his children.

His first name is Lysander, but the books often refer to him as "Mr. Green." Mr. Green was abandoned by his mother when he was 31-years old. She ran away from him with the milkman on Mother's Day, but the only reason she did so was because she could not get Mr. Green to leave home. Mr. Green's secrets are uncovered in "Nanny Piggins and the Rival Ringmaster" in one particular chapter.

Physical Appearance
It is known that Mr. Green was once blond, hansome and athletic during his highschool years. However, he is now slightly overweight and is not handsome anymore. His current hair color is unknown, but it might be blond as it used to be. Mr. Green always dresses in a three-piece suit for work, and has silk ties that Nanny Piggins often uses for numerous things. It is likely that Edith Green married Mr. Green when he was blond and handsome.
