![]() ![]() When it was hot and sunny, Briny Beach was crowded with tourists and it was impossible to find a good place to lay one's blanket. This particular morning it was gray and cloudy, which didn't bother the Baudelaire youngsters one bit. ![]() The three Baudelaire children lived with their parents in an enormous mansion at the heart of a dirty and busy city, and occasionally their parents gave them permission to take a rickety trolley-the word "rickety," you probably know, here means "unsteady" or "likely to collapse"-alone to the seashore, where they would spend the day as a sort of vacation as long as they were home for dinner. Their misfortune began one day at Briny Beach. I'm sorry to tell you this, but that is how the story goes. ![]() Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire were intelligent children, and they were charming, and resourceful, and had pleasant facial features, but they were extremely unlucky, and most everything that happened to them was rife with misfortune, misery, and despair. This is because not very many happy things happened in the lives of the three Baudelaire youngsters. In this book, not only is there no happy ending, there is no happy beginning and very few happy things in the middle. If you are interested in stories with happy endings, you would be better off reading some other book.
