About this book
Canals, dikes and windmills shape the Netherlands that Rollo wants to see in Jacob Abbott's children's travel story. The opening explains how low ground is protected from the sea, why water must be pumped away, and how canals serve farms as well as public traffic. These practical details give the setting a clear physical shape before the sightseeing takes over.
Rollo and Mr. George plan to explore the Hague with Mr. and Mrs. Parkman, then try a canal boat between the Hague and Delft. Rollo is interested in the little places along the banks and the variety of passing boats. A busy railway platform also becomes a scene about comfort, courtesy and managing travel companions.
