The End cover

New for 2024, the 25th anniversary collector’s edition of the 13th and final book in Lemony Snicket’s classic children’s mystery series

Dear Reader,

There is nothing to be found in ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ but misery and despair. You still have time to choose another international best-selling series to read. But if you insist on discovering the unpleasant adventures of the Baudelaire orphans, then proceed with caution…

Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children. They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky.

In The End, the siblings face a fearsome storm, a suspicious beverage, a herd of wild sheep, an enormous bird cage, and a truly haunting secret about the Baudelaire parents.

In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted.

Despite their wretched contents, ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ has sold 60 million copies worldwide and been made into a Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey and a Netflix series directed by Neil Patrick Harris. You have been warned.

Are you unlucky enough to own all 13 adventures?

‘Shouldn’t You Be in School?’

‘Why is This Night Different from All Other Nights?’
