Summary "Rollo on the Atlantic" by Jacob Abbott is a children's adventure novel published in the mid-19th century. The story follows a twelve-year-old boy named Rollo Holiday and his younger cousin Jane as they embark on an ocean voyage to Europe. The narrative combines elements of travel and discovery while providing educational insights into maritime life and the experiences of young travelers. The opening of the book presents the circumstances that lead Rollo and Jane to travel alone across the Atlantic. Their parents are in Europe, and due to health concerns, their mother cannot return home, prompting her to have Rollo and Jane join her. As the story unfolds, readers are given a glimpse into their preparations, Rollo's eagerness for independence, and Jane's mixed feelings about the journey. The narrative sets up their initial encounters as they embark on the ship, emphasizing themes of responsibility, adventure, and sibling-like bond as the children navigate their new environment at sea. The detailed descriptions of their preparations and the bustling atmosphere of the boarding process prepare the reader for the adventures that follow. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
