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 Reptile Room the siblings endure
a car accident, a terrible smell, a deadly serpent, a long knife, a
brass reading lamp, and the re-appearance of a person they'd hoped
never to see again. 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 directed by
Barry Sonnenfeld. 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.
