Humpty Dumpty (Rare Book Collections)

A very cute story of the original Humpty Dumpty's son, who doesn't want to worry about breaking like his father did. He goes to the Black Hen for advice, and she sends him to the proverbial farmer's wife to ask her to put him in boiling water to harden him through and through. I admit I thought this might have a horrific ending, especially if the farmer's wife was hungry.
