From the tradition of classic tales for children, in which terrible things always seem to befall orphans, comes this exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted. The latest installment in Lemony Snicket's uproariously unhappy series may just be the wors...

Dear Reader, If you have picked up this book with the hope of finding a simple and cheery tale. I'm afraid you have picked up the wrong book altogether. The story may seem cheery at first, when the Baudelaire children spend time in the company of some interesting reptiles and a giddy uncle, but don...

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 sen...

Dear Reader, You are presumably looking at the back of this book, or the end of the end. The end of the end is the best place to begin the end, because if you read the end from the beginning of the beginning of the end to the end of the end of the end, you will arrive at the end of the end of your...

Dear Reader, Before you throw this awful book to the ground and run as far away from it as possible, you should probably know why. This book is the only one which describes every last detail of the Baudelaire children's miserable stay at Heimlich Hospital, which makes it one of the most dreadful bo...

"Dear Reader, " You have undoubtedly picked up this book by mistake, so please put it down. Nobody in their right mind would read this particular book about the lives of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire on purpose, because each dismal moment of their stay in the village of V.F.D. has be...

Within the chapters of this story, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire encounter a darkened staircase, a red herring, some friends in a dire situation, three mysterious initials, a liar with an evil scheme, a secret passageway, and parsley soda.

Violet, Klaus and sunny Baudelaire are intelligent and resourceful children. For these unfortunate siblings school turns out to be another miserable episode in their unlucky lives. They face strict punishments, dripping fungus, comprehensive exams, smelly sneakers and the metric system.

Some boxes should never be opened. For the first time, the complete A Series of Unfortunate Events - including the highly feared #13: The End - is available in one awful package! We can't keep you from succumbing to this international bestselling phenomenon, but we can hide all thirteen books in a ...

This is a story about a lump of coal who can think, talk, and move itself around. Is there a more charming holiday tale to behold- Probably, but Lemony Snicket has not written one. Reviews "In this tale of Christmas miracles, Snicket chronicles the adventures of an anthropomorphic lump o...

Latkes are potato pancakes served at Hanukkah, and Lemony Snicket is an alleged children's author. For the first time in literary history, these two elements are combined in one book. A particularly irate latke is the star of "The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming", but many other holiday icons appe...

Like bad smells, uninvited weekend guests or very old eggs, there are some things that ought to be avoided. Snicket's saga about the charming, intelligent, and grossly unlucky Baudelaire orphans continues to alarm its distressed and suspicious fans the world over. The 10th book in this outrage...

Readers incapable of running fast enough to escape Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Event"s can breathe a sigh of relief now that the first six books of the series have been securely contained in a shrink-wrapped box disguised with exquisite Brett Helquist art that will prevent this collect...

Dear Reader, Unless you are a slug, a sea anemone, or mildew, you probably prefer not to be damp. You might also prefer not to read this book, in which the Baudelaire siblings encounter an unpleasant amount of dampness as they descend into the depths of despair, underwater. In fact, the horrors th...

Books four through six--The Miserable Mill, The Austere Academy, and The Ersatz Elevator--of this extremely miserable but popular series are collected in a second boxed set.

 Here is a word book like no other! Only Lemony Snicket could so adeptly weave such startlingly beautiful adventure out of a collection of the most essential words of all time, including Bird, Dog, Cake, Panache, Despondent, and of course, Haberdashery.

In a fading town, far from anyone he knew or trusted, a young Lemony Snicket began his apprenticeship in an organization nobody knows about. He started by asking questions that shouldn't have been on his mind. Now he has written an account that should not be published, in four volumes that shouldn't...
