Introduction to The White Lion Press

The best fundraising (and other) books anywhere.

When Relationship Fundraising was first published among the very many comments was one that we particularly liked: it was entertaining, it even made some readers laugh. And this has been our aim ever since. We want to produce books that readers will enjoy because we believe that if people are to benefit from our books they have to be readable. Our list may be small at the moment, but it is growing and our books will always be by the best authors, be the best designed, the best written, the most informative and the most entertaining.

Reviews for The Field by the River
‘A simple walk in the woods becomes a year-long adventure packed with mysteries, insights and wonder, often all on the same page. Ken’s ‘Field’ will make you happy and, possibly, consider investing in rugged new footwear.’

Emma Thompson
Oscar-winning actress and screenwriter


‘Ken Burnett’s delicious storytelling makes Kerkelven come alive as he surprises, entertains and enchants us. I hope The Field by the River will establish the author as the modern successor to White and Thoreau. It has inspired me to take better note of the living riches that surround us when we are out walking.’
Indra Sinha
Author of Animal's People, short-listed for the 2007 Man Booker prize


‘In the world of news we’re surrounded with fast-moving stories of horror, destruction and pain. The Field by the River is an effective antidote, being gently comforting and mellow. Yet
you’ll also learn a lot of zoology, a bit of botany and a smattering of hydrology.’
Natalie Bennett
