A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Vile Village by Lemony Snicket (First Ed.)

Village rules conceal crows, clues, and treachery

Very Good Condition – minor cover and edge wear.

Hoping that the initials V.F.D. will lead them to answers, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire agree to be adopted by an entire village. They soon discover a community governed by thousands of unreasonable rules, populated by crows, and watched over by a Council of Elders more concerned with obedience than justice. When a mysterious prisoner appears and Count Olaf arrives in disguise, the siblings must decode hidden messages and expose a dangerous deception before an innocent person is punished. The seventh instalment in A Series of Unfortunate Events combines riddles, narrow escapes, social satire, and dark humour as the Baudelaires pursue the truth while remaining one step ahead of their relentless enemy.
