/lit/ - Literature

A Series of Unfortunate Events rivals some of the best made children's lit out there. From the narration and prose to the use of language, to the genuine character development and themes and emotional concepts explored in the novels.The genre/aesthetic is interesting and somewhat unique among modern children's lit too. To top all of that off, the few illustrations in the books - and the covers especially - are all wonderful.

I read them as they were coming out when I was growing up and even going back to them as an adult, I think they still offer a good amount of value.
