Although very much at home in their Greenwich Village
apartment, the Reys wanted to spend their summers in
the country, where Margret could garden and H. A. could
have a clear view of the heavens. On May 14, 1958, construction
began on the Curious George Cottage in Waterville Valley,
New Hampshire. Here they spent relaxing summers and
drew inspiration from their bucolic existence. H. A.
was well-known for rescuing injured animals and nursing
them back to health. Coffee, an orphaned chipmunk who
was hand-fed with an eye-dropper and returned to the
wild, came back each summer to visit his human friends.
Another benefactor of H. A.'s tender care was George,
the squirrel, whose watercolor image drawn by Rey is
shown here. |
