Watch Yourself Go By

** "Watch Yourself Go By" by Al. G. (Alfred Griffith) Field is an autobiographical account that explores the early life of the author through engaging, humorous stories. The book opens by painting a picture of young Alfred, known endearingly as "Al-f-u-r-d," a boy whose boundless curiosity leads him into a series of comical misadventures. The tone is set early with tales of narrow escapes and childhood pranks, creating a nostalgic and lighthearted atmosphere. The author seems to recount these experiences not only to entertain but also to provide insights into personal growth and self-reflection during his formative years, while highlighting the memorable characters and rural landscapes that shaped his youth. **
