Daniel Handler

 

There have been many famous authors who have written many famous books but if you want to hear about one of the best authors by far, this is the report for you.  The author is none other than Daniel Handler and when Daniel Handler began to type his first book any one who read it would be blessed with a good book. 

Daniel Handler was born Feb. 28 1970 in San Francisco, California.  Daniel HandlerÕs quote is, ÒYou never love a book the way you love it when youÕre ten. ItÕs a blessing to be a part of that.Ó  Daniel HandlerÕs first novel was called The Basic Eight, his second novel was called Watch Your Mouth.  Recently, the movie for Daniel HandlerÕs A Series of Unfortunate Events with the star role of Jim Kerry and Meryl Streep was about the first three books.  When Daniel Handler writes his Series of Unfortunate Events books, he leaves a warning about how horrible these books are and about the terrible things that happen inside them.  He came up with this idea when he was in the pharmacy when he looked at the little warnings on the bottles of medicine and he saw that the warning draws attention to people around it. Daniel HandlerÕs twelfth book, The Grim Grotto came out recently and it is featured in the ocean. Daniel Handler puts himself in the books as Lemony Snicket and put in fake moments of his life as Lemony Snicket such as notes that mention Lemony SnicketÕs girlfriend Beatrice whom he is no longer with.  He always dedicates the books to Beatrice, his fake dead girlfriend. He dedicates the books to her in an odd way like, ÒWhen we were together, I felt breathless. Now you are.Ó His books are childrenÕs bestsellers. In 2003, Daniel Handler and his wife were expecting their first child. I hope you learned a lot about Daniel Handler.
