Lemony - "A Series of Unfortunate

with the hope of finding a simple and cheery tale, I'm afraid
you have picked up the wrong book altogether," warns the

are free to put this book back on the shelf and seek something
lighter." Absolutely miserable stories
full of wit and exciting adventures. Don't miss them.
