Two children's books have been returned to a library in Hampshire 48 years after being taken out.
The Thomas the Tank Engine and Learning in Colour books were returned to the library at Basingstoke Discovery Centre by post.
A note, signed "Andy", apologised for keeping the books "when we moved as children from Basingstoke in 1972".
Hampshire County Council said it was a "thoughtful gesture" and it would not be charging any late return fees.
At today's rate, the books would have accumulated a late return charge of about £8,000.
Well, I hope he enjoyed his Thomas the Tank Engine book: I certainly would have done when I was a kid !
Anyway, I'm glad to see he's returned them - and, that was kind of the library not to charge any late return fees .
