The Vile Village

by Lemony Snicket

This is the seventh entry in the Series of Unfortunate Events books which chronicle the disastrous lives of the Baudelaire orphans, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. Here their miserable experiences continue, as Mr. Poe's latest adoption attempt involves an entire village of rule-loving old people with a taste for ice-cream sundaes and very clean homes. Taken in by a curious janitor named Hector, the orphans continue in their search for clues to the Quagmire triplets' whereabouts and encounter a secret, censored library, a very inventive hot air balloon, and more crows than anyone could think possible.

Publisher Notes

Dear Reader,

You have undoubtedly picked up this book by mistake, so please put it down. Nobody in their right mind would read this particular book about the lives of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire on purpose, because each dismal moment of their stay in the village of V.F.D. has been faithfully and dreadfully recorded in these pages.

I can think of no single reason why anyone would want to open a book containing such unpleasant matters as migrating crows, an angry mob, a newspaper headline, the arrest of innocent people, the Deluxe Cell, and some very strange hats.

It is my solemn and sacred occupation to research each detail of the Baudelaire children's lives and write them all down, but you may prefer to do some other solemn and sacred thing, such as reading another book instead.

With all due respect,

Lemony Snicket
