You are looking at the Slippery Slope
One:A man of my aquaintance once wrote a poem called "The Road Less Traveled," describiinga journey he took through the woods along a path most travelers never used. The poet found that the road less traveled was quite peaceful but quite lonely, and he was probably a bit nervous as he went along because if anything happened on the road less traveled, the other travelers would be on the road more frequently traveled and so couldn't hear him as he cried for help. Sure enough that poet is dead.
Like a dead poet, this book can also be said to be on the road less traveled, because it begins with the three Baudelaire children on a pathleading through the Mortmain mountains, which is not a popular destination for travelers, and it ends in the churning waters of the stricken stream, which few travelers even go near.
