- German Language copy. Facsmile reproduction of book originally published by London : Ernest Nister; New York : E.P. Dutton & Co.No., [ca. 1910]. The reproduction is from the book held in the Alpine Club of Canada Library, inscribed: "Paul A. W. Wallace Toronto Dec. 25, 1913 From S. H. Mitchell". This book was described as Conrad Kain's favourite book in Chapter 10 of the book "Where the Clouds Can Go" by Conrad Kain, and edited by J. Monroe Thorington. (?),. The archives produced a reproduction (with images) from a first ed. copy of 'Animals' Alpine Club', a 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. See 05.1 B47a.
