The Bad Beginning: Book the First (Rare Edition Enhanced) (A Series of Unfortunate Events)

by Lemony Snicket, Brett Helquist (Illustrator)

Overview

Dear Reader,

"Rare" is a word which can mean either "not burnt to a crisp, and likely to make you ill" or "slightly harder to find." I'm sad to say that this rare and wretchedly enhanced edition of The Bad Beginning fits both of these definitions. In this alleged electronic book, you will find the following:

1. A woeful story entitled The Bad Beginning
2. An entire chapter of author's notes, which are arguably even more woeful than the tale itself and for no good reason, are linked to the referenced passages
3. An alarming portrait of the heroes and villains of this tale that you may choose to view whenever you please, however highly ill-advised
4. A short film aptly named Scream and Run Away!

It is my sad duty to provide these miserable materials to the public, but you are free to look for something easier to find and less likely to upset your stomach.

With all due respect,

Lemony Snicket
