What this book is about
The complete collection of all thirteen A Series of Unfortunate Events books, from The Bad Beginning through The End, collected in a single omnibus volume. Lemony Snicket's darkly comic middle-grade series follows the Baudelaire orphans through thirteen volumes of increasing darkness, wit, and thematic complexity — from straightforward (if sinister) adventure to genuine moral ambiguity and philosophical depth. One of children's literature's most sustained and rewarding achievements.
