But recently a book which had been issued in the year 1914 – got returned to its place on 20th October of this year (after 100 years).
According to the report, the book was issued on the name of Albert Chambers, who died in 1965, but recently his grandchildren found the book under attic of their old home.
They then decided to return the property to its right place.
They even apologized for the late return of the book.
