內容簡介
On June 14, 1940, Hans and Margret Rey fled Paris as the German army invaded the city. Escaping on bicycles, they took only winter coats and four picture books strapped to the racks. Among those books were the watercolors and a rough text for Fifi, later known to the world as Curious George. However, when Curious George was actually published in the United States in 1941, these original watercolors were not used for the printing. Hans Rey was required by his editor to redraw the entire book, creating preseparated art, so that costs would be minimal. The Reys retained the original art and would, on rare occasion, treat carefully chosen friends and collectors to George as he was first envisioned in Paris those many years ago. During their lifetimes they parted with only five pieces of the extraordinary art. For this edition, the original Curious George drawings have been retrieved and reassembled, using modern reproductive techniques. For readers, comparing the originals - hat for hat and grin for grin - against their published counterparts will be intriguing and a great deal of fun. Now all of George's millions of friends can experience what only a few people have ever seen: George "in the act of becoming himself." Throughout their lives the Reys created many lively titles together, but it is their incorrigible little monkey Curious George who has become an American icon, selling millions of books and capturing the hearts of readers everywhere. The curiosity of a newly captured monkey gets him into continual trouble.
作者簡介
Hans Augusto Rey was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1898. As a child, he spent much of his free time in that city's famous Hagenbeck Zoo drawing animals. After serving in the army during World War I, he studied philology and natural science at the University of Hamburg. He then married Margret Rey and they moved to Montmartre for four years. The manuscript for the first Curious George books was one of the few items the Reys carried with them on their bicycles when they escaped from Paris in 1940. Eventually, they made their way to the United States, and Curious George was published in 1941. Curious George has been published in many languages, including French, German, Japanese, Afrikaans, and Norwegian. Additional Curious George books followed, as well as such other favorites as CECILY G. AND THE NINE MONKEYS and FIND THE CONSTELLATIONS.
精彩書評
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. Otherwise, it's the story you probably already know, though a bit more luxuriously produced, about how Curious George came to make life a lot more interesting for the Man in the Yellow Hat. (Ages 3 to 8) --Richard Farr

《好奇的喬治》係列是瑪格麗特和H.A.雷夫婦長期閤作的結晶。1906年,H.A.雷生於德國的漢堡,從小喜歡畫畫,特彆愛去傢附近的動物園寫生。他終生保持著隨時隨地畫速寫的習慣。瑪格麗特也齣生在漢堡,從小就想當藝術傢,專修美術和攝影。1935年,兩個熱愛藝術的青年在巴西相遇並結婚。兩人都喜歡動物,還養瞭兩隻小猴子,連去歐洲旅行也不忘帶上它們。途中瑪格麗特還親手給猴子們織毛衣防寒。但很可惜猴子們還是得瞭重感冒,沒能活下來。 在巴黎生活時,他們開始嘗試創作繪本。通常是瑪格麗特撰寫故事,H.A.雷負責繪畫,但事實上每一個細節都是兩人的共同創作。據瑪格麗特迴憶說,他們的生活充滿瞭圍繞這隻猴子的交流、爭論和反復的修改。在H.A.雷去世後,瑪格麗特又續寫瞭幾本,直到她1996年辭世。
