The Vile Village (A Series of Unfortunate Events)

3.96 (129,228 ratings by Goodreads)

Paperback | English

By (author): Lemony Snicket

Dear reader,

There is nothing to be found in Lemony Snicket''s ''A Series of Unfortunate Events'' but misery and despair. You still have time to choose another international best-selling series to read. But if you insist on discovering the unpleasant adventures of the Baudelaire orphans, then proceed with caution...

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 Vile Village the siblings face such unpleasant matters as migrating crows, an angry mob, a newspaper headline, the arrest of innocent people, the Deluxe cell, and some very strange hats.

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.

Despite their wretched contents, ''A Series of Unfortunate Events'' has sold 60 million copies worldwide and been made into a Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey. And in the future things are poised to get much worse, thanks to the forthcoming Netflix series starring Neil Patrick Harris. You have been warned.

Are you unlucky enough to own all 13 adventures?

The Bad Beginning

The Reptile Room

The Wide Window

The Miserable Mill

The Austere Academy

The Ersatz Elevator

The Vile Village

The Hostile Hospital

The Carnivorous Carnival

The Slippery Slope

The Grim Grotto

The Penultimate Peril

The End

And what about All the Wrong Questions? In this four-book series a 13-year-old Lemony chronicles his dangerous and puzzling apprenticeship in a mysterious organisation that nobody knows anything about:

''Who Could That Be at This Hour?''

''When Did you Last See Her?''

''Shouldn''t You Be in School?''

''Why is This Night Different from All Other Nights?''

Lemony Snicket was born before you were and is likely to die before you as well. He was born in a small town where the inhabitants were suspicious and prone to riot. He grew up near the sea and currently lives beneath it. Until recently, he was living somewhere else.

Brett Helquist was born in Ganado, Arizona, grew up in Orem, Utah, and now lives in New York City. He earned a bachelor''s degree in fine arts from Brigham Young University and has been illustrating ever since. His art has appeared in many publications, including Cricket magazine and The New York Times.

About Lemony Snicket

Lemony Snicket was born before you were and is likely to die before you as well. He was born in a small town where the inhabitants were suspicious and prone to riot. He grew up near the sea and currently lives beneath it. Until recently he was living somewhere else. A studied expert in rhetorical analysis Mr Snicket has spent the last several eras researching the travails of the Baudelaire orphans. Lemony Snicket published his first book in 1999 and has not had a good night''s sleep since. Mr Snicket is the author of quite a few books all dreadful and has been falsely accused of many crimes all falsely. Once the recipient of several distinguished rewards he is now an escapee of several indistinguishable prisons. He is widely regarded as one of the most difficult children''s authors to capture and imprison. There are thirteen books in the A Series of Unfortunate Events which should be avoided at all costs. Until recently he was presumed to be ''presumed dead''. Instead this ''presumed'' presumption wasn''t disproved not to be incorrect. Most things written about him are not true but this is. Brett Helquist was born in Ganado Arizona grew up in Orem Utah and now lives in New York City. He earned a bachelor''s degree in fine arts from Brigham Young University and has been illustrating ever since. His art has appeared in many publications including Cricket magazine and The New York Times.
