Summary "Rollo in Holland" by Jacob Abbott is a children's fiction book written in the mid-19th century. The story follows a young boy named Rollo who embarks on an adventurous journey to Holland, accompanied by his Uncle George. The book provides a vibrant exploration of Dutch culture, landscapes, and customs through the eyes of Rollo, highlighting his curiosity and eagerness to learn about the new world he is experiencing. At the start of the narrative, Rollo is at Morley's Hotel in London, contemplating whether to travel to Holland in winter or summer. He is particularly excited about the renowned Dutch skating on canals but realizes that visiting in summer would allow him to witness the country's scenic landscapes, windmills, and canals without being hindered by ice. Rollo's excitement continues to build as he engages in dialogue with his mother and uncle while preparing for the trip, leading to a mix of humor and intrigue. The opening chapters set an anticipatory tone, promising readers a delightful exploration of Rollo's journey across continental boundaries into the unique environment of Holland.
