119 year overdue book returned to school in Australia


A man in Australia just returned a library book that his grandfather checked out in 1903 and was 119 years overdue.  It is an early copy of “Great Expectations” by Charles Dickens and is still in excellent condition. The book was discovered recently by family members in a box of various possessions and is in excellent condition.  The book is now on display at Toowoomba Grammar School where his grandfather was a student in the years 1902-1903.
