Looks like the wall has finally met its match. This classic tale gets a modern twist with a Humpty Dumpty for a new generation.

Humpty Dumpty lived near a wall... begins this well-known fable. But this time Humpty is ready for battle, with a secret mission and a touch of mischief. Can all the King's horses and all the King's men help put Humpty together again? Or maybe the mission, no matter how small, is simply to question the point of a wall.
