A Series of Fortunate Events

Dear Reader,

If you find yourself reading this, you have probably followed the lives of the Baudelaire orphans rather closely. In this case, you probably know about the terrible streak of bad luck they had throughout the entire series. From the moment they found themselves on Briny Beach with Mr. Poe, to the moment they arrived on the island, very few happy things happened in their lives.

For the last couple of years I thought that I had completely lost their trail. However, it seems that I was wrong. It has been my solemn occupation to complete the history of the Baudelaire orphans, which I was not able to do until now.

With all due respect,

Lemony Snicket
