.'In 1879-1880 the Harvard Lampoon published a parody of the Rollo books. This book was authored by John T. Wheelwright and Frederic Stimson and was illustrated by Francis Gilbert Attwood. The three were among the original founders of the Harvard Lampoon. The Rollo parody finds fifteen year old Rollo smoking, torturing his younger cousin and getting ready to take college entrance exams in Cambridge. The story is quite bizarre with Rollo eventually being tried for manslaughter, being found guilty and being hung. Rollo's uncle gets drunk, his mother gets a divorce, etc. etc. These are certainly not the adventures of Jacob Abbott's Rollo.
