Helquist, Brett: -īrett Helquist's celebrated art has graced books from the charming Bedtime for Bear, which he also wrote, to the New York Times-bestselling A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket to the glorious picture book adaptation of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol.

He is the author of the 13 volumes in A Series of Unfortunate Events, several picture books including The Dark, and the books collectively titled All The Wrong Questions. Lemony Snicket had an unusual education which may or may not explain his ability to evade capture. He frequently writes scripts for DC Comics. Never before has a tale of three likeable and unfortunate children been quite so enchanting, or quite so uproariously unhappy.Ĭontributor Bio(s): Kupperman, Michael: - Michael Kupperman has done many illustrations for such publications as Fortune, The New Yorker, and The New York Times. In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted. In the first two books alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, a lumpy bed, a deadly serpent, a large brass reading lamp, a long knife, and a terrible odour.

Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky. They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children.
