Publisher Comments:

You shouldn't read other people's mail...especially when it is addressed to Lemony Snicket or someone named Beatrice.

The Beatrice Letters is an exquisite collection of personal correspondence that sheds light on the mysteries surrounding Lemony Snicket and A Series of Unfortunate Events. The Beatrice Letters contains evidence that should not be examined by anyone, including:

  • Unsettling photographs of suspicious objects
  • Hidden compartments containing disconcerting communications
  • A double-sided poster featuring confounding clues
  • Coded cut-out letters that reveal terrible secrets

Review:

"Those who can't wait for The End to Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events (book 13) due out on October 13 (that's Friday the 13th, naturally) with a 2.5 million-copy first printing can bide their time with The Beatrice Letters, which uncovers, in part, the mystery behind the lady to whom Lemony Snicket dedicates every book. A beautifully designed paper-over-board package contains the correspondence between the title mystery lady and the author, punchout letters that add to the intrigue, a full-color poster by series artist Brett Helquist all safely stowed in a handy accordion file. Miss it if you dare, as Snicket might say. And to be sure Unfortunate fans truly have everything." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

Within the pages of this omnibus, readers will discover all three books upon which the movie Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is based: The Bad Beginning, The Reptile Room, and The Wide Window. Like the movie, this thick volume tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children, who despite being perfectly well-mannered are perfectly ill-fated. From the very beginning of Book the First, when the children learn of a terrible fire, continuing on to the last page of Book the Third, disaster lurks at their heels. Unlike the movie, however, this book can be hidden under a bed where no one will ever see it again.

Synopsis:

This terribly tempting blank book offers ruled pages detailed with illustrations and quotable quotations from Mr. Snicket's archives. This journal is resilient enough to hold even the most revolting revelations from any budding young researcher or writer in disguise.

Synopsis:

Top secret — only for readers deeply interested in the Baudelaire case. How I pity these readers.

With all due respect,

Lemony Snicket

+ Very Fine Design

- Vexatious Fragmentary Dispatches

As has been true of Mr. Snicket?s published oeuvre thus far, this collection of letters between Lemony and Beatrice raises far more questions than it answers. It is unfortunate that this volume requires the reader to be conversant with that oeuvre. I recommend instead several other fine books, such as The Abhorsen Trilogy, which features two delightful orphans who experience a Veritable Fantastic Denouement, so there is no reason whatsoever to read The Beatrice Letters. I soon read World War Z, which is about zombies and yet still a better prospect than the Virtually Feculent Disquisition under consideration. The reader is strongly encouraged never to open this epistolary tome, nor to punch out and anagram the included letters then tuck them carefully in the included file folder.

Fans of Bantock's Griffin and Sabine will recognize the basic graphic style of this book, readers familiar with the tragic Baudelaire orphans will recognize the content, and tragically uninformed cakesniffers will be entirely lost, which may be just as well.

C.Olaf, October 15, 2006 (view all comments by C.Olaf)
I must admit that It was somewhat dissapointing. I exepted well, more It was just basically a giant chase around the globe that some how no one else,not even the other volunteers knew about. it would have been much more thrilling if some third parties got invoveed I'm of course reffering to Count Olaf,Montgomery Josophine or perhaps or the Quagmire, and Denoument Triplets "R "seeing as they are all presumably alive at this time. I would have also enjoyed a better explanation on R or the "Sugar Bowl". But really cut us some slack we have heard about the "Sugar Bowl" since the SIXTH BOOK and we still would'nt know it if it flew by in a parachute. So I can safely assume Lemony has predicted at least a few thing's right we are taring out our hair in frustration, we are ponding our fists on the floor, we are completly lost we may know more than some of the charactors but certain questions still haunt us. Who killed Olaf's parent's? What happened to him and his sibling's when they died? Where is the "Sugar Bowl"? What is so important about the "Sugar Bowl"? Why did Olaf convince Beatrice not to marry Lemony? what was in it for him? but these questions along with so many more I fear Lemony just might take to the grave.
