關於作者:
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.
