When is the last time you read Curious George? I’m talking about the original here, not any of the recent mass-produced gems “illustrated in the style of H. A. Rey.” Because it is genius.
It wasn’t until I picked up a barely-used copy at Pandemonium last year that I really started to remember it from my own childhood. And the narrative twists that I swallowed unblinkingly as a child now strike me as both wonderful and incredible.
