Dear Reader,
There is nothing to be found in A Series of Unfortunate Events’ but misery and
despair. You still have time to choose another international best-selling series to read.
But if you insist on discovering the unpleasant adventures of the Baudelaire orphans,
then proceed with caution…
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children. They are charming, and resourceful, and
have pleasant facial features. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky.
In The Slippery Slope the siblings face a secret message, a toboggan, a deceitful trap, a swarm of
snow gnats and a scheming villain…
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.
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 and Netflix series starring Neil
Patrick Harris. You have been warned.
Are you unlucky enough to own all 13 adventures?
