The Beatrice Letters

Description

Who is Beatrice, the woman to whom Mr. Snicket dedicates every book There is no question more often asked by fans of Lemony Snicket. Now this captivating collection of letters between Lemony Snicket and Beatrice provides answers to that question, as well as other, more upsetting ones, such as "What was Count Olaf like as a boy" and "What are the ingredients in a really good root beer float" On every level, there is more here than meets the eye. The Beatrice Letters opens to reveal an exquisitely designed accordion-style folder. Inside, investigators, fans, romantics, and law enforcement officials will find: * A bound collection of correspondence * Letters of the alphabet that can be removed, arranged, and decoded * A two-sided full-color poster by Brett Helquist Like a knock on the door in the middle of the night, a tattoo of an eye on your ankle, or a fire, these letters can mean any number of things. Readers looking for clues to The Series of Unfortunate Events, which culminates this season with the publication of Book the Thirteenth, should proceed with great caution: the more they examine The Beatrice Letters, the more they will find.

Lemony Snicket is often despondent, mostly about his published research, which includes A Series of Unfortunate Events and The Composer Is Dead. Due to the world-wide web of conspiracy which surrounds him, Mr. Snicket often communicates with the general public through his representative, Daniel Handler. Mr. Handler has had a relatively uneventful life, and is the author of three books for adults, The Basic Eight, Watch Your Mouth, and Adverbs, none of which are anywhere near as dreadful as Mr. Snicket's.
