A library in New York was shocked this month when a book was returned to them – 55 years after it was borrowed.
The copy of 'Fire of Francis Xavier' by Francis Xvaier also contained a cheque for $100, presumably to cover the fine it would have accrued since it was taken out in April 1958.
It’s not known who the returner was or why they had a sudden attack on conscience.
