The controversy concerning 'The Frost King' was an agonizing experience in Helen's life. Helen was charged with plagiarism. It was said that Helen had copied the theme of her story from 'Frost Fairies', by Miss Margaret T. Cabby. Even Mr. Anagnos, the director of Perkins Institute doubted Helen. I don't think Helen did this blunder intentionally. An explanation could be that Helen might have remembered some details of the story from her childhood, and unwittingly included some of them while writing her own story. She should not have been treated so harshly by the people at that time.
