My name is Lemony Snicket
and it is my sad duty to document this tale.
Violet Baudelaire, the eldest,
was one of the finest 14-year-old inventors in the world.
Anyone who knew Violet well could tell she was inventing something
when her long hair was tied up in a ribbon.
In a world of abandoned items and discarded materials,
Violet knew there was always something.
Something she could fashion into nearly any device for nearly every occasion.
And no one was better to test her inventions than her brother.
Klaus Baudelaire, the middle child, loved books,
or rather, the things he learnt from books.
