Lemony Snicket

Lemony Snicket is the pen name of American novelist Daniel Handler (born February 28, 1970). Snicket is the author of many children's biographies, serving as the narrator of ''A Series of Unfortunate Events'' (his best-known work) and appearing as a character within the series. Because of this, the name "Lemony Snicket" may refer to either the fictional character or the real person.
As a character, Snicket is a harried, troubled writer and photographer falsely accused of felonies, and is continuously hunted by the police and his enemies, the fire-starting side of the secret organization Volunteer Fire Department (V.F.D.). As a child, he was kidnapped and inducted as a "neophyte" into V.F.D., where he was trained in rhetoric and sent on seemingly pointless missions, while all connections were severed from his former life, apart from his siblings Jacques and Kit (who were also kidnapped and inducted). In the organization, he met and fell in love with a peer named Beatrice, whom he eventually decided to marry. He was falsely accused of murder and arson after a series of unfortunate events (after which the real-world series is in some ways named). Eventually, the fallacies grew so much that ''The Daily Punctilio'' reported his death. Beatrice eventually moved on and married Bertrand Baudelaire, becoming the mother of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, the protagonists of ''A Series of Unfortunate Events''. Fourteen years thereafter, Beatrice and Bertrand were murdered in a house fire, leaving the Baudelaires orphans. Snicket feels indebted to his former fiancée and embarks on a quest to chronicle the lives of the Baudelaire children until they become old enough to face the troubles of the world on their own.
Snicket is the subject of a fictional autobiography entitled ''Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography'' which contains an introduction from a fictionalized version of Daniel Handler. A pamphlet called ''13 Shocking Secrets You'll Wish You Never Knew About Lemony Snicket'' was released in promotion of ''The End''. Other works by Snicket include ''The Baby in the Manger'', ''The Composer Is Dead'', ''Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid'', ''The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming'', ''The Lump of Coal'', and ''13 Words''. Snicket is currently writing ''All the Wrong Questions'', a new children's series whose first book ''Who Could That Be at This Hour?'' was released in October 2012.
==Name origin==
The name ''Lemony Snicket'' originally came from research from Handler's first book ''The Basic Eight''. Handler wanted to receive material from organizations that he found "offensive or funny" but did not want to use his real name, so he invented "Lemony Snicket" as a pseudonym.〔(The Beatrice Interview: 2000 )〕 The name's similarity to Jiminy Cricket was "likely a Freudian slip."〔(Lemony-snicket-stuff.com )〕 Handler described Jiminy Cricket as "exactly the kind of overly moralistic, cheerful narrator who I despise." When writing ''A Series of Unfortunate Events'', he and his editor thought that the books should be published under the narrator's name, rather than his.〔
