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. The Complete Rollo's Tour in Europe set is also available as a Packaged Bundle!

Though he has never taken a steamer any farther than Long Island Sound or up the Hudson River, Rollo, age 12, soon will be embarking on voyage far across the waves. His parents have been traveling in Europe, hoping the vacation will improve the health of Mr. Holiday. His continuing illness, however, means they cannot return to America any time soon. So Mrs. Holiday suggests relatives put Rollo and his sister Jane on the steamer to cross the Atlantic for England -- under their own supervision!

Rollo's father and mother had gone to Europe to make a tour, a year before this time, and had taken Rollo's brother Nathan, or Thanny, as Rollo used most frequently to call him, with them. They had gone partly for pleasure, but more especially on account of Mr. Holiday's health, which was not good. It was thought that the voyage, and the recreation and pleasure of travelling in Europe, would be a benefit to him. In certain cases where a person's health is impaired, especially when one is slowly recovering from past sickness, nothing is found to have a more beneficial effect upon the patient than for him to go away somewhere and have a good time. It was determined to try the effect of this remedy upon Mr. Holiday, and so he went to Europe. Mrs. Holiday went with him. They took Thanny too, to be company for them on the way. Thanny was at this time about seven years old.
