The far-fetched, tall tale of why a library book is 293 days overdue! A seal came flying out of the water at us. I like stories, she said and snatched up the book in her jaws ... A child and their grandfather are returning a book to the library. When the librarian points out its 293 days overdue, Grandad recounts an outrageous, funny and far-fetched story of why it took so long to get the book back to the returns desk. Warning: a penguin, two seals, an owl, a whale and an albatross may have been involved!
