About Me
- Name: John Hanson Mitchell
- Location: Scratch Flat, United States
Author of the recently released PARADISE OF ALL THESE PARTS: A NATURAL HISTORY OF BOSTON (Beacon,2008). John Hanson Mitchell is one of those writers who challenges book store owners; they're never sure in which sections to place his works. Subjects range from natural and human history to travel, memoir, biography, and Italian gardens. Books include the perennial (almost cult) book CEREMONIAL TIME as well as six other works dealing with natural histories and the sense of place. He is the discoverer (as he claims) of Scratch Flat, a square mile tract of land northwest of Boston that he has used repeatedly to explore the various themes that obsess him. He is also editor of the environmental journal Sanctuary, published by the Massachusetts Audubon Society.
