'''''A Series of Unfortunate Events''''' is a series of [[Black Comedy|darkly humorous]] children's books by Daniel Handler, under the nom de plume Lemony Snicket.
 
After their parents die in a fire at the family mansion, Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire are left in the care of Count Olaf, a sinister distant relative who wants his hands on the Baudelaire family fortune, which Violet will inherit when she turns 18.

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Not parents, strictly speaking, but many guardians are thoroughly unsuitable. Count Olaf worst of all.
* [[Adaptational Attractiveness]]: While their appearance outside of illustrations are never really detailed in the books, the movie makes them appear much more "pretty", making Klaus look much older than he probably should, and making him no longer need glasses, which would be a vital plot point in the fourth book.
