The Special Collector's Edition

by Margret and H.A. Rey

 

"This is George. He lived in Africa. He was a good little monkey, and always very curious." With these words, H. A. and Margret Rey introduced the world to Curious George in 1941 and the world has loved him ever since. The tales of this cheerful and resilient little hero have kept generations of readers enthralled and entertained. Now, in recognition of the 60th anniversary of his debut, Houghton Mifflin proudly presents a special edition of George's best-loved adventures.

With an introduction by critic Leonard Marcus, a retrospective note by publisher Anita Silvey and a catalogued history of the Reys by curator Dee Jones, this collection offers a fun and fascinating portrait of a classic character and his unique creators.
