In 1892, deafblind author Helen Keller was accused of plagiarism after a short story of hers, named "The Frost King," was identified as being extremely similar to Margaret Canby's "Frost Fairies." An investigation followed, as did a tribunal in which she was eventually acquitted. Amazingly, Keller was just 12 years of age at the time.A decade later, her friend, Mark Twain, learned of the episode after reading Keller's autobiography. He then wrote her the fascinating letter of support seen below.

hellen keller was probabaly guilty since the records of the investigation shows that both the story has been placed with the same setting and that both have a considerable time gap that is before and after writing so the chances of she being guilty is high.she also could have been an inocent
