    Idle Hour Stories by Eugenia Dunlap Potts is a charming collection of short stories that captures the essence of 19th-century American life, particularly focusing on the Southern experience. Through a series of anecdotes and character sketches, Potts provides readers with a glimpse into the domestic and social dynamics of the time. The stories often explore themes of human nature, morality, and the everyday experiences of ordinary people, with a touch of humor that adds warmth and relatability to her narratives. Potts' writing is marked by its vivid depiction of regional culture, offering insights into the values, traditions, and social norms of the Victorian era. The stories reflect women’s perspectives on life, capturing the nuances of their roles within the family and society. Idle Hour Stories is a delightful read that not only entertains but also provides a thoughtful commentary on the complexities of human relationships and Southern life during the 19th century.

    • Eugenia Dunlap Potts was a writer from Lancaster, Kentucky. She owned and edited The Illustrated Kentuckian. She wrote both poetry and historical works. The State of Kentucky recognized Potts' efforts as a Kentucky novelist with a plaque outside her former house. Potts was born in Lancaster, Kentucky, as the daughter of lawyer and statesman George W. Dunlap and Nancy (Nannie) E. Jennings. She graduated from the Franklin Female Institute in Lancaster. She also went to a finishing school in Philadelphia, where she studied piano and French. Her "Song of Lancaster" was described as a "metrical history after the style of Hiawatha". Longfellow expressed his approval in correspondence with her. She also wrote an essay titled "Women's Work in Kentucky". In May 1892, Potts became a member of the Illustrated Kentuckian, a new monthly journal centered on "literature, education, and art". The paper was run by a New York journalist, Ben La Bree; Potts joined the editorial staff and was in charge of the "belles lettres and social features". The newspaper was subsequently relocated to Louisville and renamed the Illustrated South.
