A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Complete Wreck (Books 1-13) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The complete chronicles of the Baudelaire orphans, from distressing beginning to disastrous end, are available as a boxed library.

Like moldy stamps, dead butterflies, or commonplace clues, the books in A Series of Unfortunate Events are tremendously collectible. With this complete 13-volume box set you can experience Snicket in the worst way possible: from beginning to end! From the horrible fire that started it all to the unforgettable events that end it — the Baudelaires' misfortunes have finally been contained in one exquisite box!

Synopsis:

From The Bad Beginning to The End, this box set is the only choice for readers who simply cannot get enough of a bad thing.

Synopsis:

For the first time, the complete series — including the highly feared final volume, The End — is available in an awful package and hidden in a huge, elaborately illustrated, shrink-wrapped box that is perfect for filling an empty shelf or deep hole. From The Bad Beginning to The End, this box set is the only choice for readers who simply cannot get enough of a bad thing.

Synopsis:

For readers who deserve the very worst, all thirteen volumes in Lemony Snicket's best-selling A Series of Unfortunate Events are now available in one terribly heavy package. Slip-cased in an excruciatingly exquisite box, readers can now uncover the entirety of the Baudelaire's misfortunes—right from The Bad Beginning through to The End. There is nothing worse than having all thirteen of Lemony Snicket's books in one place, except, perhaps, reading them.

I like these books. They have encouraged one of the children I care for to spend a lot of time reading instead of watching TV and video games. I would recommend these books for anyone with children.
