Summary "Rollo on the Rhine" by Jacob Abbott is a children's travel fiction written in the mid-19th century. The story follows a twelve-year-old boy named Rollo and his Uncle George as they embark on a journey through Europe, specifically exploring the scenic and historical landmarks along the Rhine River. This adventure promises a mix of education and entertainment, appealing to young readers eager for exploration and discovery. The opening of the narrative introduces Rollo and Mr. George as they approach Cologne, setting the scene with vivid descriptions of the picturesque landscapes and the famous Rhine River. As they ride towards the city, Rollo, full of curiosity, becomes intrigued by a peculiar spire atop a church, which prompts him to engage with his uncle and connect with fellow travelers. The text delves into historical details about Cologne's unfinished cathedral and the story behind its crane-shaped structure, highlighting Rollo's youthful imagination and desire to learn. The beginning effectively sets the stage for a tale filled with exploration, wonder, and cultural insight as the characters navigate through ancient ruins and picturesque sites.
