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 Bad Beginning, the siblings encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune and cold porridge for breakfast.

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 now things are poised to get much worse, thanks to the new Netflix series starring Neil Patrick Harris. You have been warned. Are you unlucky enough to own all 13 adventures?

About the Author:

Lemony Snicket is the shadowy and ever-elusive author behind A Series of Unfortunate Events, a collection of darkly whimsical books chronicling the miserable misadventures of the Baudelaire orphans. With a pen dipped in irony and a flair for the dramatic, Snicket weaves tales filled with danger, villainy, and the occasional vocabulary lesson—all while reminding readers that happy endings are sadly in short supply.

Known for his dry wit, gloomy charm, and tendency to warn readers not to read further (which, of course, only makes us want to), Lemony Snicket is as much a character as he is an author. His world is filled with secret societies, disguises, codes, and dastardly plots—and somehow, it’s all irresistibly fun.

If you enjoy mysterious narrators, clever turns of phrase, and stories that make you laugh and ache at the same time, Lemony Snicket is your perfect literary guide to the wonderfully unfortunate.
