About
Has Lemony Snicket been poisoned? A standalone novel for all ages -- a contemporary fable in the great tradition of The Little Prince and Sophie's World -- by one of the twenty-first century's most beloved authors.
For more than twenty years, Lemony Snicket has been one of the most famous narrators in contemporary middle-grade fiction, leading millions of readers through a mysterious literary world of bewildering questions and unfortunate events. Now, with this latest book -- a love letter to readers and reading, and a meditation on the vagaries of real life -- longtime fans and new readers alike have an opportunity to experience Snicket's distinctive voice in a new way.
This true story -- as true as Lemony Snicket himself -- begins with a puzzling note under his door: "You had poison for breakfast." Following a winding trail of clues to solve the mystery of his own demise, Snicket takes us on a
thought-provoking tour of his predilections: the proper way to prepare an egg, a perplexing idea called "tzimtzum," the sublime pleasure of swimming in open water, and much else.
Poison for Breakfast is a classic-in-the-making that -- in the great tradition of modern fables like The Little Prince and The Phantom Tollbooth -- will delight readers of all ages. LEMONY SNICKET has written numerous books, including Swarm of Bees, The Bad Mood and the Stick and those in the A Series of Unfortunate Events and All the Wrong Questions series.
