Lemony Snicket
- Reading
- Try reading together a little at a time, pausing after unsettling hints to check how your reader is finding the tone. Let them choose whether to continue or take a break.
- Themes
- Identity and secrets: The book promises to address who Lemony Snicket is and whether there is a secret organisation. These questions frame identity and secrecy as mysteries, but their treatment is not established.
- A sad dedication: The warning asks why Snicket’s books contain a sad dedication to a woman named Beatrice. The dedication introduces a melancholy note; its meaning and treatment are unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Consider whether this ominous, melancholy framing would suit your reader at present.
