The listing, The Penultimate Peril has ended.
I confess, this book is not in the best of conditions, nor was it when I purchased it at a yard sale, some time ago. Not knowing the history of this book, nor the names of the people to whom it belonged, I can only assume that this book, much like the Baudelaire children, has been through. . . A Series of Unfortunate Events. This is the next to last book, if I remember correctly, in the series.
