Rey, H. A. Raffy and the 9 Monkeys
London Chatto and Windus 1939 First Edition Hardcover Very Good Rey, Hans Augusto
This is the first book that was written by Hans Augusto Rey and features the pictorial prototype for the Curious George monkey character for which he is better known. Raffy in this book is a giraffe, first inspired by a cartoon character that Rey drew for a French newspaper and this wonderfully illustrated tale sets out his exploits with a team of 9 monkeys. The chromolithographs, which feature on every page, are wonderful. There are also 10 full page chromos and a double page one. The subject matter is as sweet as anything, the monkeys sitting on the giraffe's head in order to be raised above the rain cloud; the giraffe stretching his neck to form a bridge for the monkeys across a ravine - wonderful! The last page is a piece of music, where the giraffe is bent to form the clef and the monkeys form the notes on the staves. As with all of Rey's books this was actually written by his wife Margret, but she is not attributed. This book was also published in France, where Raffy was apparently called Cecily G. This copy has been professionally re-bound with a new green cloth spine and end papers, retaining the original boards. The board corners and some of the edges are worn, there are a few pinholes on the rear board. There is some slight grubbiness on the first few pages, but basically this is a very good book with a now nice and tight binding. Note the slight horizontal discolouration across the scanned image is due to this being a composite image, the book is to large for a single scan. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
