Windfalls - Alpha Of The Plough
By Alfred G. Gardiner
Published by J.M. Dent & Sons Ltd: London 1924

"Windfalls (subtitled Alpha of the Plough) by Alfred George Gardiner is a collection of essays that reflect his keen eye for everyday life, human character, and the quiet beauty of ordinary experiences. Writing under the pen name Alpha of the Plough, Gardiner turns seemingly small or commonplace subjects into thoughtful meditations, blending gentle humor with moral insight. The essays reveal his gift for observing society with warmth and wit, offering readers both entertainment and reflection.

In Windfalls, Gardiner continues his tradition of elevating simple moments into broader commentary on human nature and values. Whether discussing personal habits, social encounters, or the quirks of daily life, he demonstrates how "windfalls" —the overlooked or unexpected elements of experience—hold meaning when considered with care. The book embodies Gardiner's style of essay-writing that made him beloved in the early 20th century: accessible, humane, and enriched with quiet wisdom."
