Overdue library book returned after 51 years

Some stories are too good to make up—like a Gothic novel returned to a small-town library more than 51 years late. That’s what happened in Enderlin, where a copy of _Rebecca_ quietly reappeared in the mail, decades after its due date in 1973. No name, no note—just a well-traveled book and a $20 bill. What followed was part mystery, part comedy, and a reminder that even in the digital age, a good story—and a good return—still makes people smile. Tracy Biggs with Inforum.com has the full story.
