The Vile Village (A Series of Unfortunate Events 7)

Dear reader,

You have undoubtedly come across this book by mistake, so please consider it no longer. Nobody in their right mind would read this particular book about the lives of Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire on purpose, because each dismal moment of their stay in the village of V.F.D. has been faithfully and dreadfully recorded in these pages.

I can think of no single reason why anyone would want to open a book containing such unpleasant matters as migrating cows, an angry mob, a newspaper headline, the arrest of innocent people, the Deluxe Cell, and some very strange hats.

It is my solemn and sacred occupation to research each detail of the Baudelaire children’s lives and write them all down, but you may prefer to do some other solemn and sacred thing, such as reading another book instead.

With all due respect,?

Lemony Snicket

Despite their wretched contents, A Series of Unfortunate Events has sold?60 million?copies worldwide and been made into a Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey, and (to make matters worse), into a Netflix series starring Neil Patrick Harris. You have been warned!
