does anyone know about how much time passed between the 1st book and the 13th book? i know at least a year, because violet and klaus both turn a year older, and i know sunny is "not a baby anymore". but they never say how old sunny was to begin with and how old she is in the end. anyone know?

Well, I believe that in the beginning of the series (or in the movie, or both), Snicket claimed Klaus was "three months shy of his 13th birthday". If this is true, TVV marks three months since the beginning of the series and chapter fourteen of The End takes place 1 year after the rest of the book.  I'm confuzzled. This is a good topic... |

I can't recall any quote of that sort, and if it was in the movie, it's not canon with the books. One can only make a rough estimate of the timespan in the earlier books-- perhaps a week to a month each, and the Kind Editor letter in TMM specifies a "half semester", which would probably be a couple of months, was spent at Prufrock. There would also be intervals of a few days between the first seven books, time to find new guardians. From TVV to TPP, though, the books take only a few days each, adding up to around two weeks if I recall correctly. The End returns returns to one aspect of the early series-- there's an indefinite period of time spent on the island before Olaf shows up. So I'd say that a year is a fairly good estimate for the timespan of the series before Chapter Fourteen.

I'm not really sure at this either. While I was reading the series, I was always thinking about this all the time. It wasn't until TVV that I was satisfied. I had always thought that the Baudelaires would never grow older; that they would stay the same age forever and ever. But back on the real subject: I have no idea about the timespand between any of the books.

I would guess about a year or so.

It was around one year between the end of The End and Chapter Fourteen. Plus, about a year or so throughout the rest of the series....I'd say around two years altogether. *shrugs*

As I recall, we used to measure the time between the date of the Baudelaire Mansion Fire (it's on one of the calenders, I think) and the False Spring Queen thing from TSS. That came to around...4 or 5 months, all up, from TBB until TSS.
Of course, I doubt Handler planned it all like this, so the figure we get from this is probably not what he had in mind. I'd guess around 8 or 9 months, from the start of TBB until Olaf dies in the End.
