| | 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. |
