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.
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.
