Damper on Da Vinci Code

The Curate at St Paul's Church in Woodford Bridge has said he cannot see "what all the fuss is about" surrounding the book The Da Vinci Code. Dan Brown's novel has sold over 40 million copies worldwide and is currently at the centre of a legal battle between Mr Brown and the authors of the 1982 book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail who claim plagiarism by Mr Brown. A film adaptation of The Da Vinci Code starring Tom Hanks and Sir Ian McKellen is to be released on May 19. [More]
