Curious George Through the War: The Reys' Long Journey (Large Format Picture Book)

One morning in June 1940, H.A. Ray and his wife, Margaret, escaped Paris just hours before the German army invaded. They did so on bicycles they had assembled themselves! George's original drawings, found among their scant luggage, were turned into a picture book in America the following year. This book traces the couple's early life and miraculous escape through a mix of diaries, photographs, and illustrations.
