"These essays have such charm and perfection of style that reading them gives me a greater sense of well-being than the pills I occasionally take for my back. And that is powerful medicine." -Katherine A. Powers, Boston Globe ". . . a graceful and gracious observer of the human condition." -Wilson Quarterly " . . . will give more lasting pleasure than anything currently on the nonfiction bestseller list. . . . This is a wonderful book, made even more so by the pen-and-ink drawings of Mitchell's longtime illustrator, artist Susan Davis." -Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World "Now . . . I can have my Mitchell seven days a week and twice on Sundays without fussing (all-thumbs Mitchell fashion) with microfiche reels." -Indianapolis Star "This is a stimulating collection of essays by a man who had something to say and knew how to say it well." -Library Journal " . . . superb . . . acute observations by a writer whose sharp eye and grace with words are a blessing to those fortunate enough to read them." -Publishers Weekly "This man's place in the wilder, more creative confines of journalism is secure. This man's voice will never die. This man's voice will resound forever." -Benjamin Bradlee, The Washington Post Best known for his gardening columns in the ?Washington Post, some of which were gathered in two famous books, ?The Essential Earthman and One Man's Garden, Henry Mitchell (who died in 1993) also wrote feature stories and for years had a general interest column called "Any Day." This new book collects the most enduring of those popular columns as well as some of the most memorable features from this great writer.
