"Rollo in Paris" by Jacob Abbott is a children's travel novel written in the mid-19th century. The book centers around a twelve-year-old boy named Rollo and his family as they embark on a journey from London to Paris, filled with adventures and new experiences. The story likely explores themes of personal growth, the excitement of travel, and the nuances of interacting with unfamiliar cultures. The opening of the book sets the stage for Rollo's adventure as it introduces the initial arrangements for the family's trip to Paris. Rollo's father, Mr. Holiday, is planning the route they will take, considering options and costs while also grappling with his health. As Rollo expresses a desire to travel independently with his uncle George, the narrative delves into family dynamics and the balance of independence and responsibility. The excitement builds as Rollo and his uncle prepare for their part of the journey, indicating a blend of childlike enthusiasm and the beginning of Rollo's exploration in a foreign land. Throughout the initial chapters, Abbott enriches the setting with descriptions of travel logistics, while hinting at the adventures and experiences that await Rollo in Paris.
