    About this ebook

    "Leaves in the Wind" by A. G. Gardiner is a collection of essays. These essays were written over ninety-five years ago, and thus many of the subjects no longer exist, making this book, which used to encapsulate everyday life so perfectly, an interesting look into the past. A Fellow Traveller, On a Famous Sermon, On Pockets and Things, On a Country Platform, On a Distant View of a Pig, In Defence of Ignorance, On a Shiny Night, On Giving up Tobacco, The Great God Gun, On a Legend of the War, and On Talk and Talkers are just some of the essays in this collection.
