Each one is a stand alone story. Jacob Abbott (1803-1879) educator and author of the immensely popular Rollo series of books for children, sends his hero Rollo Holiday, his parents, his brother Thanny, his cousin Jane and Mr. George, his uncle, on a geographical tour. I have read these books recently and they are so educational and informative historically, culturally, and geographically for children and adults, I felt they should be kept alive for future generations. It is unabridged and formatted especially for use on the Kindle. All ten titles are now available for the Kindle and they are, in order: Rollo on the Atlantic; Rollo in Paris; Rollo in Switzerland; Rollo in London; Rollo on the Rhine; Rollo in Scotland; Rollo in Geneva; Rollo in Holland; Rollo in Naples; Rollo In Rome.

If a man were to be raised in a balloon high enough above the continent of Europe to survey the whole of it at one view, he would see the land gradually rising from the borders of the sea on every side, towards a portion near the centre, where he would behold a vast region of mountainous country, with torrents of water running down the slopes and through the valleys of it, while the summits were tipped with perpetual snow. The central part of this mass of mountains forms what is called Switzerland, the eastern part is the Tyrol, and the western Savoy.
