Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events follows Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire after their parents die and they are placed under the care of Count Olaf, who repeatedly returns in disguises while pursuing their fortune. Across thirteen books, the siblings move from one guardian or institution to another and gradually uncover a larger mystery involving their family and the secret organisation V.F.D. The story is continuous, so The Bad Beginning is the required starting point and the books should be read in order. The narration uses dark humour, word definitions, warnings to stop reading and frequent direct addresses to the audience, while the plots combine absurdity with genuinely grim events. The books are children's fiction, but their running mysteries and literary jokes reward readers who follow the whole sequence. Read more Less
