The Bad Beginning has arrived at The Folio Society in a new illustrated edition featuring an original afterword by Lemony Snicket. The publisher lists October 13 for the 184-page hardcover and a £60 UK price. JooHee Yoon contributes a frontispiece and four full-page colour illustrations, including a double-page spread,

plus thirteen chapter motifs. The book combines cloth and printed textured-paper boards with a slipcase whose eye-shaped window reveals the cover beneath. The opening A Series of Unfortunate Events novel introduces Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire after the fire that leaves them orphaned, before Count Olaf begins

scheming for their inheritance. Yoon’s interpretation and Snicket’s new commentary distinguish this edition from earlier presentations of the same story. Read the official source. Image: JooHee Yoon / The Folio Society; official The Bad Beginning edition photograph.
