Rollo in London
Jacob Abbott
Hardcover
(W.B. Conkey Co., Sept. 3, 1900)
The author of this Rollo book, Abbott, was a Congregational minister and author of great note in the mid 19th century. His writings are certainly his main historical footprint. These didactic little books were vehicles to teach morality to youngsters. Of the several series that Rollo either starred in or was a secondary character, the most popular and well known was the ten book Rollo's Tour of Europe Series. In these tales Rollo and Mr. George toured Europe learning more about character and morality than they learned about the individual lands that were visited.
