Story:
“Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall..”
What happened in between? Here at last is the true story of Humpty Dumpty-an innocent-looking but incurably mischievous egg who, it turns out, was not entirely blameless in his own sad fate. Complete with all the details the nursery rhyme omits, this clever tale will tell you what Humpty Dumpty was really up to on the wall-and who fell off-before he did!
