Humpty Dumpty is always portrayed as a giant egg that fell off the wall. Then there’s a very funny novel by Jasper Fforde, The Big Over Easy, where a detective hunts for the murderer of Humpty Dumpty. http://www.jasperfforde.com/nurserycrime/home.html
Thursday Next is the heroine. The Eyre Affair is the first in the series and the funniest but warning, it’s a gateway drug to the rest of the work of Jasper Fforde. Thank you for posting it properly, Alexikakos.

Don’tget the joke here, but Who ever said Humpty was a big egg? Nothing in the verse even alludes to it….The lesson? Don’t sit on walls children….
