JESTER'S BELLS

Part I. The Story of Rollo; Mr. Holliday knows all there is to know about
raising children, or at least he thinks he does. His attempts to train his son,
Rollo, “in the way he should go,” are well-meant, but hilariously
unsuccessful--or are they? I believe this is a sort of spoof of the “Rollo”
series for children, that was written by Jacob Abbot in the mid 19th century.
The characters have the same names and the chapters have a little Q&A at
the end like the Abbot books, except these are definitely tongue-in-cheek.
These Rollo stories use humor (and a bit of pathos) to teach plain home
truths to parents, rather than children.

Part Il. Stories and Sketches; It is difficult to give this part a better
description than the title implies. It is an assortment of short works. Some
are humorous, some thought-provoking, some have a bit of both, and some
are, I think, just a tad demented (but in a good way.)
