In 'Diddie, Dumps & Tot; or, Plantation child-life' by Louise Clarke Pyrnelle, readers are transported to a vivid and poignant depiction of life on a Southern plantation through the eyes of three young African American siblings. The book's literary style combines elements of sentimentalism and realism, offering a unique perspective on childhood in the antebellum South. Pyrnelle's use of dialect and detailed descriptions of the landscape create a rich literary context that immerses readers in the past. Through the siblings' adventures and interactions with adults and peers, the book provides a window into the complexities of race and childhood during this tumultuous period in American history. Louise Clarke Pyrnelle, an African American author and educator, drew on her own experiences growing up in the South to write 'Diddie, Dumps & Tot'. Her firsthand knowledge of plantation life and her commitment to portraying the humanity of African American characters shine through in the narrative. Pyrnelle's dedication to giving voice to marginalized perspectives makes this book a valuable contribution to American literature. I highly recommend 'Diddie, Dumps & Tot; or, Plantation child-life' to readers interested in exploring the nuances of childhood, race, and history in the antebellum South. Pyrnelle's insightful storytelling and vivid characterizations make this book a compelling and thought-provoking read.

I hope that none of my readers will be shocked at the seeming irreverence of my book, for that intimacy with the "Lord" was characteristic of the negroes. They believed implicitly in a Special Providence and direct punishment or reward, and that faith they religiously tried to impress upon their young charges, white or black; and "heavy, heavy hung over our heads" was the DEVIL! The least little departure from a marked-out course of morals or manners was sure to be followed by, "Nem' min', de deb'l gwine git yer." And what the Lord 'lowed and what he didn't 'low was perfectly well known to every darky. For instance, "he didn't 'low no singin' uv week-er-day chunes uv er Sunday," nor "no singin' uv reel chunes" (dance music) at any time; nor did he "'low no sassin' of ole pussons." The "chu'ch membahs" had their little differences of opinion.

Excerpt from Diddie, Dumps, and Tot: Or Plantation Child-Life IN writing this little volume, I had for my primary object the idea Of keeping alive many. Of the Old stories, legends, traditions, games, hymns, and superstitions Of the South ern slaves, which, with this generation of negroes, will pass away. There are now no more dear Old Mammies and Aunties in our nurseries, no more good Old Uncles in the workshops, to tell the children those old tales that have been told to our mothers and grandmothers for generations - the stories that kept our fathers and grandfathers quiet at night, and induced them to go early to bed that they might hear them the sooner.
