With all due respect, Lemony Snicket Don’t miss the rest of A Series of Unfortunate Events or Audible’s exclusive interview with Lemony Snicket! ©2001 Lemony Snicket (P)2001, 2003 HarperCollins Publishers, Inc. Dear Listener, If you are looking for a story about cheerful youngsters spending a jolly time at boarding school, look elsewhere. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent and resourceful children, and you might expect that they would do very well at school. Don’t. For the Baudelaires, school turns out to be another miserable episode in their unlucky lives. Truth be told, within the chapters that make up this dreadful story, the children will face snapping crabs, strict punishments, dripping fungus, comprehensive exams, violin recitals, S.O.R.E., and the metric system. It is my solemn duty to stay up all night reading my history of these three hapless youngsters into a microphone, but you may be more comfortable getting a good night’s sleep. In that case, you should probably listen to something else.

Whether you have twenty minutes or a full afternoon, the player below keeps your place as you go.
