Notes: This is an original first ed. Victorian Children's picture book 'The Animals' Trip to Sea' of c.1899(?),. The archives produced a reproduction (with images) from a first ed. copy of 'Animals' Alpine Club', another children's book in The Animals series, and a favourite of Conrad Kain of the ACC. These children's books are very rare and we are working to build a collection of them for conservation and to allow the stories to be preserved. It is in fragile condition with need for conservation as pages have detached from the spine. Oversized due to fragility.
