He wrote the book series "A series of Unfortunate Events". In the book "The Wide Window", the Baudelaire orphans spend time with their aunt Josephine, who lives on the shore of Lake Lachrymose. She has an unnatural fear of everything from doorknobs to kitchen appliances, but the greatest love in her life is English grammar. Towards the end of the book, she corrects the diction of evil Count Olaf, who then casts her away to be devoured by the carnivorous leeches of Lake Lachrymose.
