Audio Book: A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Grim Grotto, read by Tim Curry

The mystery and quirkiness that has made the print version of ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ so successful has been lovingly recreated and enhanced in this compact disc version of the 11th book. There is a lot to like about a dust jacket that warns you not to listen to the audio book, as the contents are both horrible and distressing. Those brave enough to place the CD into their stereo will be comforted to know that the intricacies of phenomenon known as the ‘Water Cycle’ have been carefully catalogued by Mr Snicket, so as to not delve into the despair of the Baudelaire orphans too early in the narrative.
