What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I am looking for a book I listened to as audiobooks, possibly serialised on the radio in the late 90s/early 2000s.

It was a series set in a kind of Victorian/Edwardian era, in a very Lemony Snicket Edwardian style. I remember a joke where it says "he stepped out of a wardrobe gingerly (it was a ginger wardrobe)".

There was something about how it played up that it was a dark story - again very Lemony Snicket - and the book may have been named after the house the character was sent to.

I've worked in children's books for 5 years and I've never been able to find it again!

Awful End

Eddie Dickens pulled open the door to the wardrobe, gingerly. (It was a ginger wardrobe.)

That's it! Thank you

Glad you found your book, Catherine.

Awful End (book 1) of the Eddie Dickens Trilogy by Philip Ardagh - Rainbowheart's find.

No prob, glad to help out!
