书籍简介

在这本“极其有趣”的故事中，莱蒙尼·斯尼克特（Lemony Snicket）与罗尔德·达尔（Roald Dahl）相遇，讲述了一个饥饿的野兽、一个自负的人以及一个并不讨人喜欢的小女孩的故事，而这个小女孩还不知道自己即将被吃掉。 美貌是有代价的。这一点没人比埃比尼泽·特威泽更清楚了，他保持美丽已达 511 年之久。你或许会好奇，他是怎么做到的？原来，埃比尼泽只需喂养他那豪宅阁楼里的怪兽。作为回报，怪兽会给他青春永驻、容颜不老的药水，还有其他礼物，比如表演杂技的猴子、温斯顿·丘吉尔的雕像，偶尔还会有一盆仙人掌。 但那野兽每吃一顿就愈发贪婪，有一天它宣称，下次想吃一个鲜嫩多汁的孩子。埃比尼泽从未做过如此可怕的事来保住他那美好的生活。不过，他还是找到了一个傲慢无礼、调皮捣蛋、令人讨厌的孩子，准备把她喂给野兽。 这孩子贝瑟尼或许远非埃比尼泽所能预料的。她确实是个相当无礼的客人，但埃比尼泽还是希望她不被吃掉。难道贝瑟尼并非只是盘中餐，而是......值得交朋友的人？

Lemony Snicket meets Roald Dahl in this “wickedly funny” tale of a hungry beast, a vain immortal man, and a not-so-charming little girl who doesn’t know she’s about to be eaten. Beauty comes at a price. And no one knows that better than Ebenezer Tweezer, who has stayed beautiful for 511 years. How, you may wonder? Ebenezer simply has to feed the beast in the attic of his mansion. In return for meals of performing monkeys, statues of Winston Churchill, and the occasional cactus, Ebenezer gets potions that keep him young and beautiful, as well as other presents. But the beast grows ever greedier with each meal, and one day he announces that he’d like to eat a nice, juicy child next. Ebenezer has never done anything quite this terrible to hold onto his wonderful life. Still, he finds the absolutely snottiest, naughtiest, and most frankly unpleasant child he can and prepares to feed her to the beast. The child, Bethany, may just be more than Ebenezer bargained for. She’s certainly a really rather rude houseguest, but Ebenezer still finds himself wishing she didn’t have to be gobbled up after all. Could it be Bethany is less meal-worthy and more…friend-worthy?
