The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket
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 first two
books alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive
villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their
fortune, a lumpy bed, a deadly serpent, a large brass reading lamp, a
long knife, and a terrible odor.
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.
Never before has a tale of three likeable and unfortunate children been
quite so enchanting, or quite so uproariously unhappy. (From Amazon.com product listing.)
