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.

Reviews

Just in time for the major motion picture-with a tie-in photograph of Jim Carrey et al. on the box-the first three tales in their cloth editions kick off A Series of Unfortunate Events Box by Lemony Snicket. The trio of books, The Bad Beginning; The Reptile Room; and The Wide Window, come packaged with a "two-faced" holographic sticker of Count Olaf (aka Carrey), first smiling, then scowling.
