  <description><![CDATA[Fans of Lemony Snicket and newcomers to his gleefully ghastly Series of  Unfortunate Events will be elated to discover this boxed gift set of the first  three books in hardcover: <em>The Bad Beginning</em>, <em>The Reptile Room</em>, and  <em>The Wide Window</em>. While it's true that the events that unfold in Snicket's  novels are bleak, and things never turn out as you'd hope, these delightful,  funny, linguistically playful books are reminiscent of Roald Dahl, Charles  Dickens, and Edward Gorey. After they get their paws on this boxed set, there is  no question that young readers will want to read the continuing unlucky  adventures of the three Baudelaire orphans. (Ages 9 and older) <em>--Karin  Snelson</em>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Within the pages of this omnibus, readers will discover all three books upon which the movie Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is based: The Bad Beginning, The Reptile Room, and The Wide Window. Like the movie, this thick volume tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children, who despite being perfectly well-mannered are perfectly ill-fated. From the very beginning of Book the First, when the children learn of aterrible fire, continuing on to the last page of Book the Third, disaster lurks at their heels. Unlike the movie, however, this book can be hidden under a bed where no one will ever see it again.]]>

    <![CDATA[Within the pages of this omnibus, readers will discover all three books upon which the movie Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is based: The Bad Beginning, The Reptile Room, and The Wide Window. Like the movie, this thick volume tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children, who despite being perfectly well-mannered are perfectly ill-fated. From the very beginning of Book the First, when the children learn of aterrible fire, continuing on to the last page of Book the Third, disaster lurks at their heels. Unlike the movie, however, this book can be hidden under a bed where no one will ever see it again.]]>
