A new book, “The Journey That Saved Curious George: The True Wartime Escape of Margret and H. A. Rey” (author Louise Bordon Houghton Mifflin), tells of how George’s creators, both German-born Jews, fled from Paris by bicycle in June 1940, carrying the manuscript of what would become “Curious George” as Nazis prepared to invade.
