I have just finished reading the Lemony Snickett books and I noticed that they follow a very similar 'pattern', a pattern which mirrors many gothic novels from the late 18th early 19th century. Such as 'The Castle of Otranto' or 'Dracula'.
Is this just my imagination? Or have I really been reading gothic novels for children?!
I suppose that isn't a bad thing but, in fact I think that Mr Handler (a.k.a Lemony Snickett) should be credited for bringing about such a revolution among childrens books!
I welcome any opinion.
