Wooden Animals

judyjohn

One of my favorite books, The Man in the Brown Suit, has a very amusing scene describing purchase of wooden animals from train stops and having to carry them around the rest of the journey.  On her own trip to south Africa, Agatha Christie mentions, "From the train journey I brought back carved wooden animals...I still have several of them, carved in soft wood....elands, giraffes, hippopotami, zebras."  MY QUESTION:  Does the family still have any of these animals and are they on display at Greenway ?

Take a look here - it lists everything held at Greenway - http://www.nationaltrustcollections.org.uk/search/highlights/Greenway,-Devon/1 - fascinating even if you don't find a wooden animal!
