These are humourous, ficticious stories exploring the origins and explanations of some well known nursery rhymes. For example, you'll discover why Humpty Dumpty really sat on the wall, how "Goosey Goosey" Gander got his name and why Miss Muffet really ran away. But they are not what you'd expect. They are heavily laced with my humour. Read at your peril. Contains a little adult humour and language so not quite aimed at children! On a serious note, I will be donating to Comic Relief from the proceeds, so buy now!!! And above all, please recommend to all you friends!

From the New York Times-bestselling creator of The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend comes the inspiring epilogue to the beloved classic nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty. Everyone knows that when Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. But what happened after? Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat's poignant tale follows Humpty Dumpty, an avid bird watcher whose favorite place to be is high up on the city wall--that is, until after his famous fall. Now terrified of heights, Humpty can longer do many of the things he loves most. Will he summon the courage to face his fear?
