A Box of Unfortunate Events: The Trouble Begins (A Series of Unfortunate Events 1-3) FROM OUR EDITORS
Lemony Snicket would like to apologize in advance for bestowing this horror upon you -- the first three Unfortunate Events starring the horribly ill-fated Baudelaire children are available in this convenient box set. Convenient, yes. A fun and carefree jaunt thru the lives of three happy-go-lucky youngsters? Not exactly. Lemony Snicket has been following Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire since their lives took an unpleasant turn downhill. Orphaned and forever looking for a home that is less that devastatingly horrid, these sibling are on a never-ending survival adventure.
The back of the box set features a letter from the narrator of all these tales, Lemony Snicket, pleading with readers to read happier books instead. Fans will be familiar with Snicket's pleas, as he repeats them in very book, several hundred times. However, his warnings mean nothing to readers, as A Series of Unfortunate Events continue to intrigue the millions. Will we ever learn?
