Quick recap

Instead of a novel, a dossier. Lemony Snicket, the narrator who follows the Baudelaires, gathers handwritten and typed letters, maps, clippings, codes, secret files and photos whose captions confuse more than they explain. The book opens with an introduction by Daniel Handler, the author behind the pen name. Among the papers are V.F.D. codes, Snicket's family tree and details that tie up loose ends from the series while opening new mysteries. For readers of the books, it works as a slightly crooked guide to Snicket's world, packed with clues about the secret organization and the narrator himself.
