Ken Burnett is a writer and lecturer on marketing, communications and governance issues for not-for-profit and charitable organisations.
For the past thirteen years Ken - originally from Scotland - and his wife have lived in Brittany. They live in a seventeenth century manor house which is blessed with all the trappings of antiquity and individuality. The house has an adjoining chunk of land, unremarkable to the uninitiated, prone to flooding from the river where it’s flat and unproductively hilly and overgrown everywhere else. Ken walked his three dogs around this field three times a day for many years before a chance encounter with a kingfisher made him unexpectedly consider the sorry fact that he knew next to nothing about either the kingfisher or the rest of the flora and fauna in ‘his’ field. The result of that moment is THE FIELD BY THE RIVER, a charming record of the twelve months Ken has spent trying to understand his immediate surroundings a little better.
Ken's previous books, bestsellers in their fields, include RELATIONSHIP FUNDRAISING (Jossey-Bass Inc, San Francisco 2002) and TINY ESSENTIALS OF AN EFFECTIVE VOLUNTEER BOARD (The White Lion Press, London 2006). From time to time he also writes on international development issues for The Guardian and associated newspapers and websites.
