Dan Brown & plagiarism II

The historians said with a frown;
“Indeed, we have sued Dan Brown.
The man’s a crook,
Stole from our book,
It's our 'architecture' that has brought him renown!”


London (Reuters) 27/02/06 - Author Dan Brown attended a London court on Monday at the start of a trial in which two historians are accusing him of copying their ideas in his best-selling religious thriller "The Da Vinci Code". Richard Leigh and Michael Baigent are suing Brown's British publisher, Random House, for lifting "the whole architecture" of the research that went into their 1982 non-fiction book "The Holy Blood, and the Holy Grail".
