 "The Bad Beginning"
by Lemony Snicket - unabridged
audiobook (books on CD). Read by Tim Curry.
"A Series of Unfortunate
Events" contains a total of 13 stories presented in a a
tongue in cheek way and is intended for older children (middle
school, about 10 years old) and a wry sense of humor. Here is
the description from the back of the audiobook of the No 1, The
Bad Beginning.
"Dear Listener,
I'm sorry to say that the
audiobook you are holding in your hands is extremely unpleasant.
It tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children. Even
though they are charming and clever, the Baudelaire siblings
lead lives filled with misery and woe. From the very beginning
of this program when the children are at the beach and receive
terrible news, continuing on through the entire story, disaster
lurks at their heels. One might say they are magnets for misfortune.
In this short audio book
alone, 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.
It is my sad duty to tell
these unpleasant tales, but there is nothign stopping you from
turning off this audio and listening to something happy, if you
prefer that sort of thing.
With all due respect.
Lemony Snicket"
