Diddie Dumps And Tot Or Plantation Child Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162659879)

""Diddie Dumps and Tot"" is a classic children's book written by Louise-Clarke Pyrnelle. It was first published in 1900 and is set in the rural South during the Reconstruction era. The story follows two young sisters, Diddie Dumps and Tot, as they grow up on a plantation and experience the joys and challenges of life in the South.The book is divided into several short stories, each one detailing a different aspect of plantation life. The stories are told from the perspective of the two sisters, and they are filled with vivid descriptions of the people, places, and events that make up their world.Throughout the book, readers will encounter a wide range of characters, from the sisters' parents and grandparents to their friends and neighbors. They will also learn about the various customs and traditions of the South, including hunting, fishing, and celebrating holidays like Christmas and Easter.Despite the challenges they face, Diddie Dumps and Tot remain optimistic and resilient, and their adventures are sure to delight readers of all ages. With its engaging storytelling and charming illustrations, ""Diddie Dumps and Tot"" is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers more than a century after its original publication.Dumps and Tot, however, were very indignant, and ate but little dinner; and, as soon as their mamma excused them, they ran right to the nursery to tell Mammy about it. They found her overhauling a trunk of old clothes, with a view of giving them out to such of the little negroes as they would fit; but she dropped everything after Dumps had stated the case, and at once began to expatiate on the tyranny of teachers in general, and of Miss Carrie in particular.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
