Margaret Shakespeare writes about archaeology, agriculture, design, hospitality, baseball, music, wildlife, the environment, cultural history, remote destinations and more — often entwining several of her interests to tell compelling stories. Her work has been published by The New York Times, Wine and Spirits, Discover, Wildlife Conservation, Opera News, leading university alumni magazines and many other national consumer and trade publications. She is a long-time contributor to Landscape Architecture Magazine and the author of several books. Her passport has been stamped at over a hundred foreign borders. She lives in New York City and on the North Fork of Long Island in a quirky 200-year-old farmhouse.
