Lemony Snicket is the fictional author and narrator of the A Series of Unfortunate Events books, actually written by Daniel Handler. Handler has also written two other stories under this pen-name, a children's comic and a holiday short story.

Snicket often writes comments of his own life in the books, mostly relating the fact he is in peril or on the run. He is in love with a mysterious woman Beatrice, of whom there is very little further evidence. Both Beatrice and Snicket served at one time as members of V.F.D. Since her untimely death in unknown (to the reader) circumstances, he dedicates all the books to her with statements such as "When we were together, I felt breathless. Now you are." This sort of humour is his normal writing style throughout the books. On The Family Tree in pages 196 and 197 of Lemony Snicket: An Unauthorized Autobiography, it says his grandfather's name is Chas Snicket. He has two siblings, a brother, Jacques Snicket, who dies in The Vile Village, and a sister, Kit Snicket, who is last seen taking Violet, Klaus and Sunny away in a black cab at the end of the eleventh book, The Grim Grotto).
