Ervin F. Johnston’s Children’s Book About Humpty Dumpty Was Displayed at the 2023 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books

The charming children’s book “Humpty Dumpty is Alive and Well” by Ervin F. Johnston was exhibited by self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. The literary festival ran from April 22 to 23, 2023, at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA.

Humpty Dumpty, a beloved nursery rhyme character known for his egg-shaped appearance and tragic fall from a wall, has become an iconic figure in popular culture, often symbolizing a situation that is beyond repair.

However, in the book “Humpty Dumpty is Alive and Well,” two young girls defy this notion by successfully putting Humpty back together. In this heartwarming tale, Humpty is no longer broken but instead becomes the ruler of Alohaland, sitting at the head of a long table surrounded by other well-known nursery rhymes characters who have been waiting centuries to tell the rest of their stories.

Humpty Dumpty extends an invitation to the two girls to accompany him to Alohaland, a magical place where they can hear the rest of the nursery rhymes narrated by their respective characters. To reach this enchanting land, the young girls crawl through their mirrors, traverse a lengthy hallway with their reflections, and eventually pass through majestic golden doors, that open into Alohaland where Humpty Dumpty and the nursery rhyme characters await at the long table for story time to begin with the two little girls.

This story offers a fresh and uplifting perspective on the beloved character and the idea that anything is possible with a little creativity and determination. Ervin F. Johnston started writing these tales for children at the ripe old age of ninety, just two months after his birthday.
