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.
