The Bad Beginning: Book the First (Rare Edition) (B&N Exclusive Edition) (A Series of Unfortunate Events)

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

An elegantly designed and beautifully packaged edition of the wretched book that started it all. Rare again for a limited time at Barnes & Noble.

Are you made fainthearted by fire? Does cold porridge unnerve you? Is a villain something that might crop up in future nightmares of yours? Are you thrilled by nefarious plots? Is a persistent cough upsetting to you? Vicious threats? Hooks? Uncomfortable clothing?

It is likely that your answers will reveal A Series of Unfortunate Events to be ill-suited for your personal use. A librarian, bookseller, or acquaintance should be able to suggest books more appropriate for your fragile temperament. But to the rarest of readers we say, "Proceed, but cautiously."

In this alleged box, you will find the following:

• A woeful story entitled THE BAD BEGINNING, featuring a disturbing cover.

• An entire chapter of author’s notes (once available only elsewhere, now available only here), which are arguably more woeful than the tale itself.
