ISBN The Wide Window

Dear reader
There is nothing to be found in these special tie-in editions of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events but misery and despair. You still have time to pick another bestselling Emmy-nominated Netflix-adapted series to read. But if you cannot be dissuaded read on . . .
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 Wide Window the siblings encounter a hurricane a signalling device hungry leaches cold cucumber soup a horrible villain and a doll named Pretty Penny.
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?
