"Rollo's Museum" by Jacob Abbott is a children's novel written in the early 19th century. The story focuses on a young boy named Rollo, who embarks on various adventures during his summer vacation. With a playful spirit and a curious mind, Rollo explores nature and learns about different curiosities, from the canal his friend Jonas is digging to the treasures he collects for his own museum. The opening of the story introduces Rollo as he prepares for vacation from school. Concerned about his eyesight, Rollo's father takes him to a physician, who prescribes a break from reading and studying. Relishing the thought of continuous play, Rollo decides to assist Jonas in digging a canal. The narrative touches on Rollo's inquisitive nature as he encounters natural phenomena such as bubbles in the brook and the curious workings of the water cycle. As he embarks on his adventures, Rollo also expresses a desire to collect curiosities, setting the stage for his budding passion for exploration and learning, which promises to shape his experiences throughout the book.
