Read the title in French to figure out what it is about. It is a book of poems, the first of which goes: Un Petite, d'Un Petite Un petite, d'un petite, S'etonne aux Halles, Un petite, d'un petite, A! Degree tes a fallent... Which, in french, is pronounced similarly to Humpty Dumpty Sat on a wall... The book is written by someone called Luis d'Antin Van Rooten (sp) and may still be available at book stores. David Palmer
