Nothing tells me very much about him but I know he is approximately 40 years old. He published his first book in 1999. His family has roots in a part of the country which is now underwater. His childhood was spent in the relative splendor of the Snicket Villa which has since become a factory, a fortress and a pharmacy and is now someone else's Villa. To the untrained eye, Mr. Snicket's hometown would not appear to be filled with secrets. Untrained eye's have been wrong before. I don't know where he lived. He has had a wife named Beatrice but she died and he dedicates all the books to her.

The aftermath of the scandal (I don't know what scandal) was swift, brutal and inaccurately reported in the periodicals of the day. It is true that Mr. Snicket was stripped of several awards by the reigning authorities, including Honorable Mention, the Grey Ribbon, and First Runner up. The high council reached a convenient if questionable verdict and Mr. Snicket found himself in exile.

Through his formal training was chiefly in rhetorical analysis, he has spent the last several eras researching the travails of the Baudelaire orphans. This project being published by HarperCollins, takes him to the scenes of numerous crimes, often during the off-season. Eternally pursued and insatiably inquisitive, a Hermit and a Homan, Mr. Snicket wishes you nothing but the best.

Due to the worldwide web of conspiracy, which surrounds him, Mr. Snicket often communicates with the general public through his representative, Daniel Handler. Mr. Handler has had a relatively uneventful life, and is the author of two books for adults, The Basic Eight and Watch your Mouth, neither of which are anywhere as dreadful as Mr. Snicket's. Like Mr. Snicket, Mr. Handler wishes you nothing but the best.
