Dear reader, There is nothing to be found in Lemony Snicket's 'A
Series of Unfortunate Events' but misery and despair. You still
have time to choose another international best-selling series to
read. But if you insist on discovering the unpleasant adventures of
the Baudelaire orphans, then proceed with caution... Violet, Klaus,
and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children. They are charming,
and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Unfortunately,
they are exceptionally unlucky. In The Hostile Hospital the
siblings face a suspicious shopkeeper, unnecessary surgery,
heart-shaped balloons, and some very startling news about a fire.
In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes
an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent,
hilarious and deftly crafted. Despite their wretched contents, 'A
Series of Unfortunate Events' has 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 starring Neil Patrick Harris. You have
been warned. Are you unlucky enough to own all 13 adventures? The
Bad Beginning The Reptile Room The Wide Window The Miserable Mill
The Austere Academy The Ersatz Elevator The Vile Village The
Hostile Hospital The Carnivorous Carnival The Slippery Slope The
Grim Grotto The Penultimate Peril The End And what about All the
Wrong Questions? In this four-book series a 13-year-old Lemony
chronicles his dangerous and puzzling apprenticeship in a
mysterious organisation that nobody knows anything about: 'Who
Could That Be at This Hour?' 'When Did you Last See Her?'
'Shouldn't You Be in School?' 'Why is This Night Different from All
Other Nights?' 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. Brett Helquist was born in Ganado, Arizona,
grew up in Orem, Utah, and now lives in New York City. He earned a
bachelor's degree in fine arts from Brigham Young University and
has been illustrating ever since. His art has appeared in many
publications, including Cricket magazine and The New York Times.
