I've been reading this series as bedtime stories with Milly, although I did have to go back and read a few myself that she had raced through, unable to wait for me to read them to her at the pace of one chapter a night. They are genuinely brilliant books, funny and dark, mysterious and absurd.

Yep, still wondering what's going on. This book was spent in some submarines, but ended with a Snicket. What on earth is going to happen?? Got to say between Widdershins saying 'Aye' and Count Olaf's new laugh this was quite a struggle to read out loud. (

Dedication

For Beatrice -- Dead women tell no tales. Sad men write them down.

First words

After a great deal of time examining oceans, investigating rainstorms, and staring very hard at several drinking fountains, the scientists of the world developed a theory regarding how water is distributed around our planet, which they have named "the water cycle."
