The Little Snicket Lad is a ballad whose sheet music is featured in Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography. It is featured in a letter to Dr. Charley Patton, who is only mentioned this one time in the series. The Little Snicket Lad may be the song the Baudelaire parents used to sing to their children, since the last line is "the world is quiet here," as mentioned in The Slippery Slope.
