This Dictionary contains over 50,000 proverbs, in some 70 European languages and dialects, arranged in 2,500 sets.

A Series of Unfortunate Events 01. The Bad Beginning
Author: Lemony Snicket
Publisher: Egmont Books (UK)
ISBN: 9781405266062
Category : Baudelaire, Klaus (Fictitious character)
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
There is nothing to be found in the pages of A Series of Unfortunate Events but misery and despair. You still have time to choose another international best-seller to read. But if you must know what unpleasantries befall the charming and clever Baudelaire children read on . . . In The Bad Beginning the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune and cold porridge for breakfast. Then again, why trouble yourself with the unfortunate resolutions? With 5 million copies sold in the UK alone, one might consider Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events to make him one of the most successful children’s authors of the past decade. We, however, consider these miserable so-called adventure stories and the Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey that accompanied the books for children as nothing more than a dreadful mistake.
