Who is Lemony Snicket, the mysterious writer best known for being falsely accused of crimes and hunted by the police and his enemies? Anyone who has read 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' knows that Lemony Snicket serves as the narrator of the series and appears as a character within it. But did you know that Lemony Snicket is in fact the pen name for Daniel Handler, who, it has been said, has had a relatively uneventful life, at least in comparison to the legendary Mr. Snicket? In this new biography, discover what makes Lemony Snicket's novels about the adventures of the three Baudelaire children so wildly popular and explore the curious relationship between Daniel Handler and his alter ego, Lemony Snicket.
