A Fraud at Westminster Abbey?

 
Most of Britain’s great writers are memorialized in Poet’s Corner in Westminster Abbey, and quite a few are buried there, including Chaucer, Blake, Browning, Dickens, Tennyson and Kipling. Interred here is James Macpherson. Never heard of him? He pulled off the most successful literary scam in modern history. Read about it (here).

  1. Creative writing and creative way to "tell" your stories. I think he deserves his spot in Poet's corner.
