Synopsis

Lemony Snicket Gift Pack The Vile Village , The Hostile Hospital , The Carnivorous Carnival by Lemony Snicket
A slipcase containing the CD editions of Books 7 -- 9 in the Series of Unfortunate Events. You have undoubtedly picked up information about this CD slipcase by mistake, so please put it down! Nobody in their right mind would listen to these three particular stories about the lives of Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire on purpose. In The Vile Village the orphans are faced with some very unpleasant matters during their stay in the village of V.F.D. Can you really enjoy stories of migrating crows, an angry mob, a newspaper headline, the arrest of innocent people, the Deluxe Cell, and some very strange hats? The Hostile Hospital describes every last detail of the Baudelaire children's miserable stay at Heimlich Hospital which makes it one of the most dreadful audios in the world. Who wants to hear of such burdensome details as a suspicious shop-keeper, unnecessary surgery, an intercom system, anesthesia, heart-shaped balloons, and some very startling news about a fire. I'm sure you do not want to hear about such things! The Carnivourous Carnival contains such a distressing story that consuming any of its contents would be far more stomach-turning than even the most imbalanced meal. Dare I mention any of the unnerving ingredients of this story -- a confusing map, an ambidextrous person, an unruly crowd, a wooden plank, and Chabo the Wolf Baby! It is our solemn and sacred occupation to research and publish each detail of the Baudelaire children's displeasing and disenchanting lives and record them all, but you may prefer to fill your time with some other solemn and sacred thing, such as stocking another set of CDs instead!

Reviews

Is there a gleam of hope for the orphans and their new friends? Most certainly not. The only thing we can really count on are more gloriously gloomy adventures. Karin Snelson, Amazon.com

About The Author

Mr. Snicket rarely appears in public, but when he does, it is best to avoid him. Fortunately, space at his events is limited.

Lemony Snicket was born before you were, and is likely to die before you as well. His family has roots in a part of the country which is now underwater, and his childhood was spent in the relative splendor of the Snicket Villa which has since become a factory, a fortress and a pharmacy and is now, alas, someone else's villa. To the untrained eye, Mr. Snicket's hometown would not appear to be filled with secrets. Untrained eyes have been wrong before.

The aftermath of the scandal was swift, brutal and inaccurately reported in the periodicals of the day. It is true, however, that Mr. Snicket was stripped of several awards by the reigning authorities, including Honorable Mention, the Grey Ribbon and First Runner Up. The High Council reached a convenient if questionable verdict and Mr. Snicket found himself in exile.

Though his formal training was chiefly in rhetorical analysis, he has spent the last several eras researching the travails of the Baudelaire orphans. This project, being published serially by HarperCollins, takes him to the scenes of numerous crimes, often during the offseason. Eternally pursued and insatiably inquisitive, a hermit and a nomad, Mr. Snicket wishes you nothing but the best.

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. Like Mr. Snicket, Mr. Handler wishes you nothing but the best.
