This amaing author's real name is Daniel Handler. He uses Lemony Snicket as a pen name, becasue he's known for being mysterious. For example, if you see all his pictures, it's in black and white, but they're recent pictures. And also he wears a hat and his back to the camera. Rarely you will see his face in pictures. He beleived that some children didn't have a happy begginings and that was true. Daniel's father fled from germany as a young boy because of the Holocaust. "I learned about the Holocaust at a very young age than everyone else", said Daniel Handler. The information affected him in his writing and politics. His famous series: a series of unfortunate events is about three miserable orphans, Violet, Klaus and Sunny who's parents died because of a fire done by the evil villian Count Olaf. He tries to steal the Baudelaire's rich fortune, so every guardian who takes care of the orphans, he murders them all until he kidnapps them. It's about the miserable journey of orphans. That's why all he's book are not happy. He also plays the accordion because his mom and dad are opera singers.The books that I read from him are the sereis of unfortunate events from book 1 to book 10. Here are the list of titles starting from 1. The bad beggining, The reptile room, The wide window, The miserable mill, The austere academy, The ersatz elavator, The vile village, The hostile hospital, The carnivorous carnival, and the book that I'm reading right now is The slippery slope.

Faqeera, you did a fine job with this entry on Lemony Snicket. I didn't realize so much about him-photos wearing a hat and with his back to the camera? Wow. And his parents fled Germany ahead of the Halocaust? What a life.
That is really cool Faqeera! I didn't know anything about Lemony Snicket [Daniel Handler] but now it sounds interesting for me! I will try to read it soon as I find it.
