Shakespeare recovered
A 17th-century Shakespeare volume valued at $30 million, stolen from a university a decade ago, has been recovered, The Associated Press reported. On Tuesday police officers in England arrested a man in connection with the theft. The arrest followed an incident two weeks ago when a man brought the book, a First Folio from 1623, the first collection of Shakespeare's plays, to the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington to have it authenticated. Members of the library staff alerted the F.B.I. The volume had been taken in 1998 from the Durham University library, along with six other works. It remains at the Folger, but plans are being made to return it.
