Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children.They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facialfeatures. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky.
In the first two books alone, the three youngsters encounter agreedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, aplot to steal their fortune, a lumpy bed, a deadly serpent, a largebrass reading lamp, a long knife, and a terrible odour.
In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl,comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary andirreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted. Never before has a taleof three likeable and unfortunate children been quite soenchanting, or quite so uproariously unhappy.
