RD Lawrence's many books are published in 26 countries and 15 languages and take us to animal habitats far from humans; to the boreal forests of North America alive with puma, beaver, bear, timber wolves and eagles, to the frigid waters of the Pacific Northwest where orcas thrive, and to the sharks of the Red Sea.

The RD Lawrence literary collection is housed at the RD Lawrence Place at the Minden Hills Cultural Center at Minden Hills, Ontario.
