A number of years ago I was having a rough day. I was near the end of my rope; then mom came home from the thrift store and handed me this book. It totally made my day, and this has since become one of my favorite books to show people. I absolutely adore Lemony Snicket's witty quotes!
Title: Horseradish
Author: Lemony Snicket
Synopsis:
Lemony Snicket's work is filled with bitter
truths, like: 'It is always cruel to laugh at people, of course,
although sometimes if they are wearing an ugly hat it is hard to control
yourself.' Or: 'It is very easy to say that the important thing is to
try your best, but if you are in real trouble the most important thing
is not trying your best, but getting to safety.'
For all of life's ups and downs, its celebrations and its sorrows, here is a book to commemorate it all – especially for those not fully soothed by chicken soup. Witty and irreverent, Horseradish is a book with universal appeal, a delightful vehicle to introduce Snicket's uproariously unhappy observations to a crowd not yet familiar with the Baudelaires' misadventures.
