Tales of Whimsy, Verses of Woe - Hardcover

by Tim Deroche (Author), Daniel González (Illustrator)

If your moral character is flimsy

Or your wit be rather slow,

Oh dare not read these tales of whimsy

For often do they end in woe.

Tales of Whimsy, Verses of Woe is quite possibly the most dangerous book of poetry ever written.

Do you dare? It's so good it will make you sneeze. What becomes of a girl who absolutely detests

the color green? What about a king who joins a punk band? And the little boy who calls up God on

the telephone? Monsters, bears, wizards, and talking vegetables―This book has something for

everyone. Winner of the prestigious Baldersquash Medal, which honors the very best in highfalutin

nonsense.

Tim DeRoche and Daniel González, author and illustrator of the best-selling Ballad of Huck &

Miguel, return with a book of verse that will delight anyone who loves Lemony Snicket or Shel

Silverstein.
