'Who Could That Be at This Hour?'

In a fading town, far from anyone he knew or trusted, a young Lemony Snicket began his apprenticeship in an organization nobody knows about. He started by asking questions that shouldn't have been on his mind. Now he has written an account that should not be published, in four volumes that shouldn't be read. This is the first volume.

About the author

Lemony Snicket first received his education from public schools and private tutors, and then vice versa. One of the few recipients of a lifetime Bachelors Degree, he has been hailed as a brilliant scholar, discredited as a brilliant fraud, and mistaken for a much taller man on several occasions. His researching skills are currently and devoutly concentrated on the plight of the Baudelaire orphans.

Report

"[With] gothic wackiness, linguistic play and literary allusions....Fans of the Series of Unfortunate Events will be in heaven picking out tidbit references to the tridecalogy, but readers who've yet to delve into that well of sadness will have no problem enjoying this weird and witty yarn."- Kirkus Reviews , starred review
