Dear Reader,

Like handshakes, house pets, or raw carrots, many things are preferable when not slippery. Unfortunately, in this miserable volume, I am afraid that Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire run into more than their fair share of slipperiness during their harrowing journey up -- and down -- a range of strange and distressing mountains.

In order to spare you any further repulsion, it would be best not to mention any of the unpleasant details of this story, particularly a secret message, a toboggan, a deceitful trap, a swarm of snow gnats, a scheming villain, a troupe of organized youngsters, a covered casserole dish, and a surprising survivor of a terrible fire....

The Amistad Coloring Book (Dover Pictorial Archives)
by Peter Copeland

Книжка – раскраска.
28 meticulously rendered, ready-to-color illustrations, among them the capture of Africans' in their homeland, their revolt aboard ship in Havana, imprisonment in a New Haven jail, and their successful defense before the Supreme Court by former U.S. President John Quincy Adams.
In 1839, the Amistad, a Baltimore-built schooner engaged in the slave trade, was the scene of a mutiny in which its human cargo revolted against the crew and killed the captain. Hoping to sail back to their native land, the Africans landed instead off the New England Coast.
