As you can recall, the story of the Baudelaire orphans is not a pleasant one. A story filled with wonder, mysteries and secret organizations. What has been neglected to mention is that the ending you have read from Snicket's last couple of excerpts are entirely false, for he did not follow the entire journey.
My name is Violet Baudelaire. Yes, it is I. I know the real story, for I can recall ever moment of it. I'm sure Klaus will someday write about these misadventures as well, but he would much rather catch up reading all the books he missed this past year. Sunny, although she seems to be getting older every time I glance at her, her love for biting things had not changed.
Snicket actually came by not too long ago apologizing for all the facts that were wrong. He said that if he interviewed us about the facts, my siblings and I could take all the credit. We politely declined because I decided to take this into my own hands.
All I can say for the moment is that we are all doing extraordinarily well, the best we've ever been. These next chapters will give you all the details of the true story of the Baudelaire children, how we survived the clutches of Count Olaf.
