The cartoon character Curious George is known and loved all over the world. But few people know the exciting history of his creators. In 1940, Hans and Margret Rey had to flee their Paris home as the German army advanced. They began their harrowing journey on bicycles with their children's book man- uscripts among their few possessions. Louise Borden combed primary resources, including Hans Rye's pocket diaries, to tell this dramatic true story. Louise Borden is an author of numerous children's books and recently published a book on Raoul Wallenberg.
