As described by Lemony Snicket himself:
“The school was made up of several buildings, all made of smooth gray stone, and the buildings were grouped together in a sort of sloppy line. To get to the buildings, the Baudelaires had to walk beneath an immense stone arch casting a curved shadow on the lawn…On the arch were the words ‘Prufrock Preparatory School’ in enormous black letters, and then, in smaller letters, the motto of the school, ‘Memento Mori’.
…the buildings were shaped—rectangular, but with a rounded top…To the Baudelaires each building looked exactly like a gravestone.”
Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire spent a dreadful half-semester in this austere institution.
