About this Item

[Children's Fantasy] COMPLETE UK FIRST EDITIONS. 14 volumes. Octavo (19 x 13 x 28cm). With in-text illustrations by Helquist. Volumes 5, 7, and the autobiography complete with wrap-around bands. Volume 8 with the dust-jacket. All in publisher's colour paper-covered boards illustrated by Helquist. Light wear to volumes 12 and 13, and sunning to spine of volume 6. Near fine. "Mr. Handler's literary opera buffa of calamity has been a children's book phenomenon second only to Harry Potter in this era. Narrated by Lemony Snicket, a sketchy figure whose own life becomes increasingly part of the plot, the tales chronicle the unrelenting misfortunes of the three Baudelaire siblings, who become orphans when their parents perish in a terrible fire."
