Lemony Snicket Lemony Snicket's family has roots in a part of the country which is now underwater, and his childhood was spent in the Snicket Villa. Snicket was involved in a scandal that stripped him of several awards by the reigning authorities, including Honorable Mention, the Grey Ribbon and First Runner Up. The High Council reached a verdict and sent Snicket into exile. His formal training was chiefly in rhetorical analysis, and he has spent the last several eras researching the escapades of the Baudelaire orphans. This project is being published serially by Harper Collins. Due to the excessive conspiracy which surrounds him, Snicket often communicates with the general public through… his representative, Daniel Handler. Mr. Handler is the author of two books for adults, "The Basic Eight" and "Watch Your Mouth."
