The Baudelaire's series horribilus enters its child-labour stage as the children are placed in the none-too-caring hands of a mill-owner who expects them to work stupidly hard in return for his questionable protection. Dangerous machines, deplorable health and safety, oppression of the working class through the wage stagnation, hypnosis and advanced lumber techniques all feature in this entertaining tale of children being treated dreadfully.
