Margret and H.A. Rey

As an artist

H. A. and Margret Rey were both born in Hamburg, Germany. They married in Brazil and lived in Paris, until the onset of World War II sent them fleeing to New York, where they began a whole new life as children’s book authors. The first Curious George book was published over sixty years ago in 1941, and the series has now sold over twenty-five million copies worldwide.
