n Lemony Snicket - The Unauthorized Autobiography (Egmont, £5.99).
Anyone familiar with the Lemony Snicket phenomena will be delighted by this equally bizarre publication that purports to be the fictitious author's autobiography.
The series of 13 Bag Beginning books has captured the market of those most discerning of audiences - the young reader.
His fiction is original, dark and pulls no punches and this diary is the same.
And, like a real diary, it is packed with pictures, crossings out, newspaper cuttings, scribbled notes and, of course, plenty of intrigue.
With intensely intricate descriptions, Snicket has managed to perpetuate his own fictitious and enigmatic identity with his madcap ideas and vivid imagination.
The man is a genius and this is a must for any Snicket fan.
