Book hidden in fireplace returned to Australian library after 150 years

An Australian library has received a long-overdue book return, approximately 150 years after the item went missing. The book was discovered hidden inside a fireplace, where it had remained concealed for well over a century. It is believed the volume was originally borrowed by an apprentice stonemason who worked on the Houses of Parliament in London. The remarkable find highlights how historical artifacts can resurface in unexpected places long after they are thought to be lost.
