Via BBC News: Court saves Les Mis sequel novels:
"In 2001, novelist Francois Ceresa published the follow-ups to the acclaimed 19th-Century classic.
But Hugo's family objected to the books - Cosette and the Time of Illusions and Marius or The Fugitive - arguing they were an insult to the original work...
But the court ruled on Friday that Hugo's novel was in the public domain, meaning Ceresa was therefore free to invent a sequel."
