Product Description
The series follows the adventures of three unlucky siblings, Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire, after their parents were killed in a fire at the family mansion. In The Bad Beginning, they briefly live with a friend of their parents, Mr. Poe, who is the person in charge of the Baudelaire fortune after the Baudelaire parents' deaths, before being sent to live with Count Olaf, who is supposedly either the siblings' third cousin four times removed, or their fourth cousin three times removed. The siblings discover that he intends to get his hands on the Baudelaire fortune, which awaits Violet when she turns eighteen. In the following six books, Olaf follows the children wherever they go in a disguise so he can get closer to the orphans and steal their fortune. The orphans routinely try to get help from Mr. Poe, the banker with whom the Baudelaires briefly lived, but Poe is always either busy with work, oblivious to the danger Olaf poses or unaware that the disguised Olaf is not who he claims to be.
Each of the three siblings have a distinctive skill that often helps them during their adventures. Violet is always inventing new things to help them, Klaus is always finding out new information through his research, and Sunny has extremely sharp teeth that can bite almost anything in two.
