Lemony
Snicket – A Series Of Unfortunate Event #3 – The Wide Window – (2 cassettes, approx. running time 3 hours 30 minutes)
Harper
Collins
Dear Listener,
If you have not heard anything about the
Baudelaire orphans, then before you listen to even one sentence you should know
this: Violet, Klaus and Sunny are kindhearted and quick-witted, but their
lives, I’m sorry to say, are filled with bad luck and misery. All of the
stories about these three children are unhappy and wretched, and this one may
be the worst of them all.
If you haven’t got the stomach for a story
that includes a hurricane, a signalling device, hungry leeches, cold cucumber
soup, a horrible villain and a doll named Pretty Penny, then this tape will
probably fill you with despair.
I will continue to record these tragic tales,
for that is what I do. You, however, should decide for yourself whether you can
possibly bear the responsibility of exposing others to this miserable story.
With all due respect,
Read by Lemony
Snicket.
