Dear reader, There is nothing to be found in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events but misery and despair.
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.
You have been warned.
And in the future things are poised to get much worse, thanks to the forthcoming Netflix series directed by Barry Sonnenfeld.
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.
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.
In The Wide Window the siblings encounter a hurricane, a signalling device, hungry leaches, cold cucumber soup, a horrible villain and a doll named Pretty Penny.
Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky.
They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features.
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children.
But if you insist on discovering the unpleasant adventures of the Baudelaire orphans, then proceed with caution...
You still have time to choose another international best-selling series to read.
