A copy of "To Sea in a Sieve" by Peter Bull was returned to Scotland's Shetland Library 38 years late. The book was turned in last year at a library in Suffolk, England. Photo courtesy of the Shetland Library
"It's quite aged, as you would expect," Catherine Jeromson, support services librarian at the Shetland Library, told the Shetland Times. "It was due back on 12th July 1983 -- which pre-dates myself."
The book was returned to the Bungay Community Library, 750 miles away from Shetland, last year. Officials said it had been brought in by a woman who found it at an estate sale in Suffolk.
