Did you know? (continued) - Handler started writing the Lemony Snicket books after he published his first novel The Basic Eight. The suggestion came from Susan Rich, a children's book editor who now works at Harper Collins. Initially he thought it a terrible idea thinking that the sort of things he would come up with would be totally inappropriate for a children's publishing house, but then he had an idea - which she liked, and the rest is history. - His pseudonym came about while researching The Basic Eight, when he needed to contact right-wing organizations to get pamphlets and learn their dogma but didn't want to use his real name. It quickly took on a life of its own and became an in-joke with his friends who presented him with Lemony Snicket business cards one year and invented a drink called the Lemony Snicket (Handler is partial to cocktails), it also came in useful when writing letters to the editor of the local paper as an undergrad,...

Lemony Snicket Datum objave: Lemony Snicket je istovremeno pseudonim književnika Daniela Handlera, autora serije knjiga Niz nesretnih događaja te junak te serije. Objavljena je autobiografija pod nazivom Lemony Snicket: Neautorizirana autobiografija s uvodom koji potpisuje Daniel Handler. Handler je napisao i neke druge knjige i kratke priče pod imenom Lemony Snicket. Ime Lemony Snicket očito je nastalo tijekom istraživanja za Handlerovu prvu knjigu The Basic Eight. Handler je htio pribaviti neke materijale od organizacija koje je smatrao smiješnima ili uvredljivima, ali kako nije htio koristiti svoje pravo ime izmislio je Lemony Snicket kao pseudonim. To je ime koristio i kako bi pisao šaljiva pisma novinama, pretvarajući se da je bijesan zbog beznačajnih vijesti. Kada je pisao Niz nesretnih događaja, Handler i njegov urednik pomislili su kako bi bilo bolje knjige izdati pod imenom naratora nego li samog Handlera.
