Book borrowed before first world war returned a century overdue
The Guardian
|October 19, 2024
A book borrowed from a school library before the first world war has been returned - a century overdue.
A copy of Poetry of Byron was found by a man in Carmarthenshire who felt it should be returned to St Bees school in Cumbria, where it had been lent out to a schoolboy.
Inside the blue cloth-bound book, the name Leonard Ewbank is written along with the date 25 September 1911. Ewbank, who was born in 1893, was a pupil of St Bees between 1902 and 1911 before going on to study at Queen's College, Oxford.
