In 1934, then aged 13, McKee checked out “A Dog of Flanders”
by English author Marie Louise de la Ramee from the public library in Mount
Clemens, about 25 miles northeast of Detroit.
The Macomb Daily’s 89-year-old former publisher says he
recently discovered the book among his possessions and mailed it back to the
library.
McKee says he “was entranced by the book” but had always
intended to return it.
Library Director Donald Worrell Jr. says he was thrilled to
receive the book and a letter from his friend, McKee, and says he plans to put
both on display.
Worrell says he’s waiving any fines.
