A deeper understanding of Lemony Snicket
by emilyas
Did you ever notice that the character Mr. Poe has two sons named Edgar and Allen, and realize the connection to the poet Edgar Allen Poe?
If you like Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events you may want to check out this article from NPR. NPR has both the audio for an interview with Mr. Snicket (aka Daniel Handler) as well as an article discussing the literary allusions in the books (such as the one above). It's a fun read for any Snicket fan.
