The '''Snicket file''' is an important file of documents from the [[A Series of Unfortunate Events]] children's series. Suggested in ''[[The Slippery Slope]]'' to have been written by [[Jacques Snicket|Jacques]], [[Kit Snicket|Kit]] and [[Lemony Snicket]], it is first mentioned in ''The Hostile Hospital'', in which it is also referred to as the "Baudelaire file". Count Olaf wants to obtain and destroy it because it supposedly has enough evidence to put him and his associates in jail. The Baudelaire orphans also want the file after learning from the keeper of the Library of Records at [[Heimlich Hospital]], [[Hal (A Series of Unfortunate Events)|Hal]], that it contains information about themselves. However, they only retrieve the last page - page 13 - which was accidentally left behind when the rest was removed for an official investigation, the nature of which is unknown. |

In the ''The Slippery Slope'', Count Olaf is given it by [[The Man With a Beard but No Hair and the Woman With Hair but No Beard]], in reward for having burnt down [[Caligari Carnival]]. He, they, and [[Esmé Squalor]] retreat into his tent to read it and discuss its contents - sending away his associates, who he did not want to learn the file's secrets. The file is later revealed to name the location of [[Hotel Denouement|the last safe place]] for [[V.F.D.]]. Afterwards, it vanishes from the narrative and does not appear again; it is assumed to either still be in Count Olaf's possession or to have been destroyed as he intended. It has no significance to the story after these events occurred. |

The Snicket file has [[List of Thirteens (A Series of Unfortunate Events)|thirteen pages]], and is said to contain charts, maps, and photographs. It has also been described by characters in the series as "the file about the Snicket fires" and "the Baudelaire file." The thirteenth page features a photograph of [[Jacques Snicket]], a man facing away from the camera, very probably [[Lemony Snicket]], and [[Mr. and Mrs. Baudelaire]] (and, out of sight, the photographer) standing in front of [[667 Dark Avenue]] in cold weather, accompanied by the text "''Because of the evidence discussed on page nine, experts now suspect that there may in fact be one survivor of the fire, but the survivor's whereabouts are unknown.''" The contents of page nine, and the rest of the pages of the file, are unknown, as is which fire the text refers to, although the Baudelaire siblings suspected it was the fire that destroyed their home; it may also have referred to the fire that destroyed the Quagmire home, which [[Quigley Quagmire]] survived, while [[Duncan and Isadora Quagmire|his siblings]] believed him and their parents to be dead, or to many other fires (perhaps those allegedly lit by Lemony Snicket himself, which he claims were really lit by Count Olaf). Another likely possibility is that the survivor referenced by the text may be [[Lemony Snicket]] himself. This being the case, it would explain why Kit believes her brother Lemony to be deceased in [[The End (A Series of Unfortunate Events)|the thirteenth book]], and further suggests that the Snickets were involved in a fire that was thought to have killed one of their siblings (directly paralleling what occured with the [[Duncan and Isadora Quagmire|Quagmire Siblings]] and [[Quigley Quagmire|Quigley]]) |
