Seit mehr als zwanzig Jahren führt Lemony Snicket seine Leserinnen und Leser durch eine geheimnisvolle Welt voller verwirrender Fragen und »betrüblicher Ereignisse«. Sein neues, von der Reihe unabhängiges Buch »Gift zum Frühstück« ist ein Liebesbrief an die Leserinnen und Leser und an das Lesen. Und es ist eine Reflexion über die Unwägbarkeiten des Lebens.Diese wahre Geschichte - so wahr wie Lemony Snicket selbst - beginnt mit einer rätselhaften Notiz unter seiner Tür: »Sie hatten Gift zum Frühstück«. Um das Rätsel rund um seinen bevorstehenden Tod zu lösen, nimmt Snicket die Leserinnen und Leser mit auf eine Tour durch seine Vorlieben: die richtige Art, ein Ei zuzubereiten, eine verwirrende Idee namens »Tzimtzum«, das erhabene Vergnügen, in offenem Wasser zu schwimmen - und noch vieles mehr.
