Diddie, Dumps and Tot or Plantation Child-Life, Louise-Clarke Pyrnelle, 1963, Hardcover

This novel was noted at the time for its use of the southern black vernacular, a dialect also used by Mark Twain and Joel Chandler Harris, and which was thought to add "authenticity" to writing about the American South. The novel offered a nostalgic and romanticized view of antebellum plantation life, and was popular during the 19th and 20th centuries.
