Library book return is 45 years late

A BOOK has been returned to a library 45 years overdue. Stunned librarians in Dinnington, South Yorkshire, opened a package containing a Penguin first edition copy of Quatermass and the Pit by Nigel Kneale, which was borrowed in September 1965.

The borrower need not have worried about the fine – there's a maximum penalty of 6 a book.
