Librarians in Kerry were stunned this week to have a book returned — 67 years late.

The €1,200 fine on Ruby of a Thousand Dreams, an adventure romance by Roland Daniel, was waived as part of an amnesty.

The book was withdrawn from the Carnegie Library in Tralee on 30th November 1949 and was returned on the 30th November 2016.
