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.
