The Vile Village - A Series of Unfortunate Events

by Michael Kupperman, Lemony Snicket, Brett Helquist
The Vile Village - A Series of Unfortunate Events - Thryft
The Vile Village - A Series of Unfortunate Events - Thryft

Grim adventure, mysterious village, irrepressible orphans.

If you've got a taste for the delightfully morbid with a side of dry humor, "The Vile Village" could be a match for you. Here, the Baudelaire orphans face yet another perilous situation, enveloped in Lemony Snicket's signature narrative that manages to be both macabre and whimsical. It's a peculiar brew that stirs a reader's curiosity and tickles the funny bone, despite the supposedly 'unpleasant' content.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Dear Reader, You have undoubtedly picked up this book by mistake, so please put it down. 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 crows, 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
