The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket



Imagine tales so terrible that as many as 50 million innocents have been ruined by them - tales so indelibly horrid that thehas been unable to rid itself of it for seven years.

Now imagine this scourge suddenly became available in a shameful new edition so sensational, so irresistible, so riddled with lurid new pictures that even a common urchin would wish for it. Who among us would be safe

Lock your doors and hide your little ones, for this is no mere fancy. The reviled Lemony Snicket's first two tales of the Baudelaire orphans are reborn ... in an even more flammable format.

Lemony Snicket is the author of the thirteen volumes in A Series of Unfortunate Events; several picture books, including the New York Times bestseller The Dark; and the books collectively titled All the Wrong Questions.

Rilla Alexander is a designer, illustrator, and picture book maker whose work has appeared on everything from toys and tea cups to busses and buildings. Some of her books include The Best Book in the World!, Her Idea, and Jane Yolen's A Bear Sat on My Porch Today.
