Before he wrote 'A Series of Unfortunate Events', Lemony Snicket
asked all the wrong questions. Four to be exact. This is the
account of the second question. In the fading town of
Stain'd-by-the-Sea, young apprentice Lemony Snicket has a new case
to solve when he and his chaperone are hired to find a missing
girl. Is the girl a runaway? Or was she kidnapped? Was she seen
last at the grocery store? Or could she have stopped at the diner?
Is it really any of your business? In the tradition of great
storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark
comedy that is both literary and irreverent. You'll laugh only if
you find humour in gothic and mysterious things involving
detectives and crime solving. Lemony's other literary outings in,
'A Series of Unfortunate Events' have sold 60 million copies
worldwide and been made into a Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey.
And in the future things are poised to get much worse, thanks to
the forthcoming Netflix series directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. You
have been warned. Have you read all four mysterious titles in the
Wrong Questions series? 'Who Could That Be at the This Hour?' 'When
Did You See Her Last?' 'Shouldn't You Be in School?' 'Why is This
Night Different from All Other Nights?' Author Lemony Snicket was
born before you were and is likely to die before you as well. He
was born in a small town where the inhabitants were suspicious and
prone to riot. He grew up near the sea and currently lives beneath
it. Until recently, he was living somewhere else. He is a broken
man, wracked with misery and despair as a result of writing 'A
Series of Unfortunate Events'. He spends his days wandering the
countryside weeping and moaning and his evenings eating
hastily-prepared meals. Artist Seth has portrayed suspicious
circumstances and shady characters in much of his work. He is a
multi-award-winning cartoonist, author and artist, whose works
include Palookaville and Clyde Fans.
