Humpty Dumpty

It's hard to think of a more famous figure in English nursery rhymes than this large egg-man who sits on a wall, falls off and is irreparably broken. Why the King's horses – as well as the King's men – would have a go at putting Humpty together again is one of the many mysteries found in nursery rhymes. The words and the gestures are great fun to put together, though, so all is not lost!
