When was the reptile room published

In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted. Never before has a tale of three likeable and unfortunate children been quite so enchanting, or quite so uproariously unhappy. Lemony Snicket is the author of the thirteen volumes in A Series of Unfortunate Events; several picture books, including The Dark; and the books collectively titled All the Wrong Questions.

He lives with his family in Brooklyn, New York. He frequently writes scripts for DC Comics. This is his first book. Nothing yet! You should let Lemony Snicket know that you want to hear from them about their book. You should let Brett Helquist know that you want to hear from them about their book. Monty treats them well, and tells them they are going on a scientific expedition to Peru. The previous assistant, Monty tells the children, suddenly and suspiciously resigned.

Uncle Monty shows the children the Reptile Room, a large hall where Monty keeps his living reptile collection. They meet his newest discovery, which is named The Incredibly Deadly Viper. Each child is given tasks in the Room according to their skills. Violet invents traps for the new snakes they will find in Peru. Klaus reads books on snakes to help advise his uncle. Sunny bites rope into usable pieces, all the while making friends with The Incredibly Deadly Viper.
