Answer 1

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. Canby. Even Mr. Anagnos, the director of Perkins Institute doubted Helen.

This entire episode had a deep impact on Helen. An investigation of the matter was ordered. Helen held her point of view till the last. Helen was questioned and cross-examined. She faced all the painful and disgraceful charges and accusations courageously. Though she received the sympathy and support of so many people, including a letter from Miss Canby, yet Helen shuddered at the thought of writing anything. 'The Frost King' episode was a dark chapter in Helen's life which she could never forget.
