A long-overdue library book finally found its way back on the shelves an incredible 110 years late after someone had borrowed it in 1911.

The said book, “New Chronicles of Rebecca” by Kate Douglas Wiggin, published in 1907, tells the story of Rebecca Rowena Randall who was raised in rural Maine, and is the sequel of the original “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.”
