Description
Imagine tales so terrible that as many as 50 million innocents have been ruined by them – tales so indelibly horrid that the New York Times Bestseller List has been unable to rid itself of it for seven years.
Now imagine this scourge suddenly became available in a shameful new edition so sensational, so irresistible, so riddled with lurid new pictures that even a common urchin would wish for it. Who among us would be safe
Lock your doors and hide your little ones, for this is no mere fancy. The reviled Lemony Snicket’s first two tales of the Baudelaire orphans are reborn ... in an even more flammable format.
Critic Reviews
“'Irrepressible, brave and charming.' (New York Times Book Review)”
Praise for A Series of Unfortunate Events: "Hilarious. Luckily for fans, the woes of the Baudelaires are far from over." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Those who enjoy a little poison in their porridge will find it wicked good fun." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Irrepressible, brave and charming." -- New York Times Book Review
"With a cast of unforgettable characters, a distinctly literary air, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, this is a great match for dark comedy fans." -- Brightly
About the Author
Lemony Snicket is often despondent, mostly about his published research, which includes A Series of Unfortunate Events and The Composer Is Dead.Due to the world-wide web of conspiracy which surrounds him, Mr. Snicket often communicates with the general public through his representative, Daniel Handler. Mr. Handler has had a relatively uneventful life, and is the author of three books for adults, The Basic Eight, Watch Your Mouth, and Adverbs, none of which are anywhere near as dreadful as Mr. Snicket's.
Imagine tales so terrible that as many as fifty million innocents have been ruined by them - tales so indelibly horrid that the New York Times bestseller list has been unable to rid itself of them for seven years. Now imagine if this scourge suddenly became available in a shameful new edition so sensational, so irresistible, so riddled with lurid new pictures that even a common urchin would wish for it. Who among us would be safe? Begin at the beginning - evenif it is a bad one - with the first in A Series of Unfortunate Events, now even more disposable in paperback!
