Is Lemony books historical fiction?

It depends on what you mean by "Lemony books." Are you referring to:

* Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events: This series is not historical fiction. While it features elements of historical settings and events (like the Great Depression in *The Ersatz Elevator*), the core of the story is fantastical and revolves around fictional characters and events.

* Lemony Snicket's All the Wrong Questions: This series is a prequel to A Series of Unfortunate Events and does not feature historical fiction elements. It focuses on the fictional origins of Lemony Snicket and his journey to becoming a writer.

* Other books by Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket's real name): Handler has written several other books, including "The Basic Eight" and "Why We Broke Up." These books are also not historical fiction. They are contemporary novels dealing with realistic themes and situations.

In summary, while the "A Series of Unfortunate Events" series touches upon historical elements, it is not considered historical fiction. Most of Lemony Snicket's other works are contemporary fiction.
