As soon as they were old enough to understand, the three Baudelaire children were informed by Mr. Poe that their parents had died in a tragic fire, and that Mr. Poe was responsible for finding them a new home. The three siblings were very close to one another and looked out for each other always. When the time came for them to be sent away to live with their new guardian, none of them wanted to be split up, so Mr. Poe found them a home with a relative, Count Olaf.
They soon discover that Count Olaf is only interested in their money, and goes to great lengths to try and cheat them out of it. He makes them do all the work around the house while he spends their money on himself, and treats them terribly.
