Rollo in Society: A Guide for Youth by George S. Chappell
"Rollo in Society: A Guide for Youth" by George S. Chappell is a children's book written in the early 20th century. This narrative follows a young boy named Rollo as he transitions from a rural to an urban setting, encountering the complexities of city life and social interactions. The book serves both as an entertaining tale and a guide, imparting valuable lessons on behavior, manners, and the challenges of growing up ina bustling society. In "Rollo in Society," readers accompany Rollo and his family as they move to New York City, where he is introduced to a world very different from his previous life on the farm. The story unfolds through various adventures, including luncheons with relatives, shopping excursions, and the exploration of art in Greenwich Village. Throughout these experiences, Rollo learns about social etiquette and the importance of kindness, thrift, and integrity. As he navigates interactions with his cousins, other children, and adults, the narrative cleverly highlights the humorous misunderstandings and moral lessons that accompany childhood innocence, ultimately culminating in Rollo’s romantic engagement with Anabelle, signifying both growth and the joys of young love.
