Gardiner, A. G.: Many Furrows. v1. 08 Mar 2019
MANY FURROWS
By “Alpha of the Plough” Pseudonym of A. G. Gardiner (1865–1946) =============== Many Furrows was first published in 1924. Text was obtained from the Digital Library of India. The text of this book is in the public domain in countries where the copyright term is “Life+70” or less. =============== Alfred George Gardiner (2 June 1865 – 3 March 1946) was an English journalist, editor and author. From 1915 he contributed to the London Star under the pseudonym Alpha of the Plough. At the time The Star had several anonymous essayists whose pseudonyms were the names of stars. Invited to choose a nom de plume, he elected “to hitch my little waggon” to the brightest (alpha) star in the constellation the Plough (Ursa Major/Big Dipper). His essays are highly regarded. They are uniformly elegant, graceful and humorous. His uniqueness lay in his ability to teach the basic truths of life in an easy and amusing manner. Pillars of Society, Pebbles on the Shore, Leaves in the Wind, and Many Furrows are some of his best known writings. =============== Join Mr. Gardiner now, as he comments on his personal doings and beliefs, on society’s public morals and private practices, and shares social commentaries, literary critiques, and views on life in general. ~~~ An excerpt from “A Night’s Lodging”: Spoiler:
