Louise (nee) Clarke Pyrnelle (1850-1907) was the author of: Diddie, Dumps, and Tot; or, Plantation Child- Life (1882); The Courtship and Marriage of Aunt Flora (1900); and Miss Li'l Tweetty (1917). "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 Southern 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."
