Trivia

In my research for the spost about the wacky Brer Rabbit adventures, I came across a character from the book: Aunt Tempy. This is not a joke. She was also a character in Disney's Song of the South played by actress Hattie McDaniel, also known as "Mammy" from Gone With the Wind.

From the book:

"It was not many nights before the same company was gathered in Uncle Remus's cabin, -- Daddy Jack, Aunt Tempy, and the little boy. The conversation took a turn that thrilled the child with mingled fear and curiosity. Uncle Remus had inquired as to the state of Aunt Tempy's health..."

It goes on and on. You'll just have to trust me.
