In this book, Mitchell celebrates legends and myths rooted in nature and some of their modern re-enactments. His chapters take us month by month as he walks, skates and ruminates along Beaver Brook and its surrounds, while recalling 15 centuries of history linked to legends world wide. The chapter for March, for example, notes skunk cabbage shoots, snow fleas, pussy willow, red-winged blackbirds, purple finches, cardinals, Carolina wrens and the preening call of a Woodcock.I enjoyed the way the book brought back memories of my own wanderings in landscapes, one that has forest cut by a small stream dammed by beaver, another, where I grew up, Arizona desert in which streams were sudden and temporary. Along the way the book recounts of the loss and tentative restoration of the place of myth in modern lives. In addition, the book invites attention to the potential for myths and archetypes to be recognized as the vocabulary of the imagination, not just in quaint re-enactments but as elements of the advance of modern knowledge. I found it enchanting. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding summit of five Scratch Flat sagas *by H***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 21, 2021* Book review: Legends of the Common Stream by John Hanson Mitchell.reviewed by Hugh PowersIn John Hanson Mitchell’s literary-poetic imagination a common stream winds through five of his Scratch Flat books. He has indeed written an American saga. Starting in 1984 with the New York Times reviewed book Ceremonial Time (where Scratch Flat is perched on 15,000 years on one square mile of land) to his current triumph Legends of the Common Stream, the author drifts down the local Beaver Brook merging time, nature, local story with myth, magic and world legends. The Common Stream is a unique summit and triumph of Mitchell’s imaginative creative works because in this book his vision of local place is enlarged to present a much broader conception. We can enjoy the common place beauties of the seasons of the year, the immediate and personal experiences of nature, and move upward to the broadest sweep of human imagination. We are treated to the stream of the human story, a voyage which Joseph Campbell would thoroughly approve. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mesmerizing *by L***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 1, 2021* Legends of the Common Stream is a beautifully written book that takes you on a journey through history, myth, legend, and the natural world. Mitchell weaves together his own wanderings by the stream with extensive research and recollections of conversations with friends and naturalists, and mesmerizes in the process. I learned so much at the same time that I was very moved. I haven’t stopped talking about this book since I finished it and ordered it for everyone in my family.
