Lemony Snicket is often despondent, mostly about his published
research, which includes A Series of Unfortunate Events and The
Composer Is Dead.
Due to the world-wide web of conspiracy which surrounds him, Mr.
Snicket often communicates with the general public through his
representative, Daniel Handler. Mr. Handler has had a relatively
uneventful life, and is the author of three books for adults, The
Basic Eight, Watch Your Mouth, and Adverbs, none of which are
anywhere near as dreadful as Mr. Snicket's.
"a winsome story of friendship--proceeds thus, with a Snicketian 13 words in all. Snicket and Kalman are perfectly matched here, both revelers in life's delicious details and things best left unexplained. This charming chef-d'oeuvre sings like a mezzo-soprano. " -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A book that pushes boundaries and demands such active participation on the part of both readers and listeners to connect language and images (and Kalman's quirky artwork is a perfect fit, littered with fun details) is to be commended." -- ALA Booklist
