One that is a little more peculiar can be found at a pub on Land of Green Ginger that houses England's smallest window. Sometimes I saw the shifts between storytelling, character development and points being made, and that made the book feel rather unpolished.The BBC radio program Story Time featured a six-part dramatized reading by Thea Holme and others, starting in November 1966, and the BBC Jackanory television program featured the book twice: in a five-part reading by Kenneth Williams starting in December 1968 and another, also in five parts, by Michael Barrymore in December 1984. The eccentric narrator, bizarre/deadpan chapter headings, and erudite use of synonyms make this seem like it was the actual book on which Lemony Snicket modeled his writing. I remember a time in my teen years when this book came back dimly in memory but I could not think of the name.

Along the way, he falls in love with the daughter of a nasty rich merchant who's also being courted by two selfish princes. Naive Joanna Burton marries Teddy Leigh because he says he's going to give her the world as a golden ball. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language.I believe the printing is actually identical, just with an expanded bottom margin in the larger size.
