For more than 20 years, Lemony Snicket has led millions of young listeners and readers through a mysterious world of bewildering questions and unfortunate events. With this latest book - a love letter to audiences young and old about the vagaries of real life - longtime fans and new listeners alike will experience Snicket’s distinctive voice in a new way.  

This true story - as true as Lemony Snicket himself - begins with a puzzling note under his door: You had poison for breakfast. Following a winding trail of clues to solve the mystery of his own demise, Snicket takes us on a thought-provoking tour of his predilections: the proper way to prepare an egg, a perplexing idea called “tzimtzum”, the sublime pleasure of swimming in open water, and much else. 

Poison for Breakfast is a classic-in-the-making that - in the great tradition of modern fables like The Little Prince and The Phantom Tollbooth - will delight listeners of all ages.

Are the works of Lemony Snicket enjoyable? Of course! Did Warburton play the role of Snicket/narrator in the series adaptation? Sure, that may have even been a factor in the production of this Audiobook. I'm just happy to finally have a book read by Warburton, and have listened to it so many times already.

Finally an Audiobook by this narrator
