Description

Rollo, a bright‑eyed country youngster, finds his world expanding when a trip to the bustling city places him among unfamiliar customs, bustling streets, and a parade of new faces. As he fumbles through grand halls, noisy markets, and elegant gatherings, his rural instincts clash with urban expectations, creating gentle comedy and moments of sincere discovery. The narrative follows his earnest attempts to behave politely, manage his possessions, and understand the subtleties of city etiquette, all while retaining the honest charm that made him beloved back home.

Beyond simple adventure, the story offers quiet lessons for listeners of any age. Rollo’s earnest efforts to care for his books, save his pennies, and treat others with respect become small mirrors for everyday conduct. Parents can share his missteps and triumphs as lighthearted reminders that good habits and kindness travel just as well from farmyard to metropolis.

About the author

GS

George S. (George Shepard) Chappell

1877–1946

Best remembered for sly, imaginative humor, this architect-turned-writer created the mock-explorer Walter E. Traprock and spoofed the travel craze of the 1920s. His work mixes deadpan wit, playful invention, and the eye for detail of someone trained to observe the world closely.
