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 .          The Carnivorous Carnival contains such a distressing story that consuming any of its contents would be far more stomach-turning than even the most imbalanced meal. To avoid causing discomfort, it would be best if I didn't mention any of the ingredients of this story, particularly a confusing map, an ambidextrous person, an unruly crowd, a wooden plank and Chabo the Wolf Baby. Your time might be better filled with something more palatable such as eating your vegetables or feeding them to someone else.             In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted.             Despite their wretched contents, 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'?has sold?60 million?copies worldwide and been made into a Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey. And in the future things are poised to get much worse, thanks to the forthcoming Netflix series starring Neil Patrick Harris. You have been warned.             Are you unlucky enough to own all 13 adventures?          The Bad Beginning          The Reptile Room          The Wide Window          The Miserable Mill          The Austere Academy          The Ersatz Elevator          The Vile Village          The Hostile Hospital          The Carnivorous Carnival          The Slippery Slope          The Grim Grotto          The Penultimate Peril          The End          And what about All The Wrong Questions? In this four-book series a 13-year-old Lemony chronicles his dangerous and puzzling apprenticeship in a mysterious organisation that nobody knows anything about:          `Who Could That Be at This Hour?'          `When Did you Last See Her?'          `Shouldn't You Be in School?'          `Why is This Night Different from All Other Nights?'          Lemony Snicket was born before you were and is likely to die before you as well. He was born in a small town where the inhabitants were suspicious and prone to riot. He grew up near the sea and currently lives beneath it. Until recently, he was living somewhere else.
