Miles and Leagues
Miles and leagues and more miles did I run,
Each day trying vainly to outrace the sun.
Flying west through the day, that star never ceased
To disappear nightly, then rise in the east.
“Oh, why do you flee me?” I cried to the sky,
But that arrogant orb made not a reply.
“Perhaps I can help,” came a voice from behind.
“Hear me, my friend, I was once of your kind..."

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? 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.
⭐REVIEW from Kirkus: "Joyous poems. A rare work of pure, unbridled fun."
⭐REVIEW from the American Library Association: "Incredibly funny, periodically poignant, and wonderfully unafraid to challenge readers."
