    About this ebook

    "Rollo's Museum" by Jacon Abbott follows the book's titular character Rollo starting in his boyhood. In fact, Abbott's fans will be very familiar with this character as he starred in a multi-volume series that recounted his adventures. Though easily aimed at children, the book is charming and adventurous enough to gain fans of all ages throughout the years since its publication.

    Jacob Abbott

    Jacob Abbott (1803-1879) was an American author, pastor, and professor. Born Jacob Abbot Ⅲ, he later added a “t” to the end of his name in order to break away from being “the third”. Abbott began his career as a professor of mathematics and philosophy at Amherst college in Massachusetts. He became a licensed preacher in 1826, and later went on to become the founder and pastor of the Eliot Congregational Church. Jacob Abbott wrote many works, including biographies, religious books, and juvenile fiction. By the end of his career, he co-wrote thirty-one titles, and authored one-hundred and eighty books on his own.

      Mar 12, 2015

      So I’m reading The Fly Trap by Fredrik Sjöberg, a slim book by a writer I’ve never heard of, and I’m riveted for reasons I can’t explain. I honestly have no idea what the book is about. The author begins by talking about the time he worked as a prop

      Sep 8, 2022

      Michael suggested the name Bob’s Rhubarb Lounge. I couldn’t stop laughing, at least on the inside. I imagined commissioning someone to make a neon sign with those words, maybe 10 feet high. I’d place it in front of my house, of course. Why not? The p
