| Summary |
"Watch Yourself Go By" by Al. G. Field is an autobiography written in the early 20th century. The book appears to capture the author's reflections on his formative years, presented through a series of anecdotes about his childhood experiences growing up in a rural setting. The narrative is likely to explore themes of self-reflection, personal growth, and the idyllic yet humorous aspects of childhood adventures. At the start of the autobiography, the stage is set with a vivid portrayal of the author's early life and the characters that populated it. The narrative introduces Alfred, affectionately called "Al-f-u-r-d," a curious and imaginative boy who consistently finds himself in trouble, primarily due to his unquenchable thirst for exploration and adventure. The opening chapter recounts a particularly enthralling moment where he narrowly escapes danger while fixated on an old well, prompting laughter and concern from the adults around him. The scenes are painted with light-hearted humor and rich detail, establishing a nostalgic tone that invites readers to reminisce about their own childhood antics.
