  Margret Rey Information
Hans and Margret originally planned to use watercolors to illustrate the books, but since they were responsible for the color separation, he changed these to the cartoon-like images that continue to feature in each of the books.
Margret and her husband moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1963, in a house close to Harvard Square.
In 1996, after Margret's death, it was revealed in her will that the entire literary estate of the Reys were to be donated to the de Grummond Children's Literature Collection at Southern Miss.

 Barnes & Noble.com - H. A. and Margret Rey - Books: Meet the Writers
One of the most memorable and charismatic characters in children’s literature, Curious George was the creation of the talented husband-and-wife team H. and Margret Rey, who fled Nazi Germany for America.
H.A. and Margret were married in Brazil, where H.A. was selling bathtubs as part of a family business; but they soon put their talents to work in Paris, where a publisher asked Rey to expand on some newspaper cartoons he had drawn.
The Reys are best known for the Curious George series, but they also produced a number of books starring different sorts of animals (or meat-eating plants, in the case of H. Rey's Elizabite).

 Amazon.fr : The Original Curious George: Livres en anglais: Margret Rey,H. A. Rey   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
As the introduction explains, the watercolor paintings that accompany this special edition of the very first Curious George story made their way out of Paris on the back of Hans Rey's bicycle, as he and his wife, Margaret, narrowly escaped the German occupation.
By way of Spain and Brazil, Rey and his work came to the United States, where cash-strapped children's publishers always required "color separation" art--i.e., a different drawing for each color.
So Rey's watercolors were not used, and for subsequent books he never even did them; only now, for the first time, has that first set been used directly.
