Dear Reader,

If you have clicked to this site with the hope of finding a simple and cheery tale, I'm afraid you have picked up the wrong URL address altogether. The story may seem cheery at first, when the Baudelaire children spend time in the company of some interesting reptiles and a giddy uncle, but don't be fooled. If you know anything at all about the unlucky Baudelaire children, you already know that even pleasant events lead down the same road to misery.

In fact, in this book that now appears on your screen, the three siblings endure a car accident, a terrible odor, a deadly serpent, a long knife, a large brass reading lamp, and the reappearance of a person they'd hoped never to see again.

I am bound to record these tragic events, but you are free to click your mouse to another site and seek something lighter.

With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket
