Ben Eady Author

Ben Eady is a creative director, writer, and illustrator who has worked for 20 years producing award winning print, digital and video media. A keen adventurer, Ben has travelled, lived, and worked in over 50 countries. He’s also the doting dad of a boy named Kiran, the inspiration for one of the main characters in The Hidden Creatures of Hackney. Creating this book has been a 2-year labour of love, stemming from real father and son adventures during the pandemic, as together they explored East London’s secret natural wonders, playing make-believe games, and inventing magical worlds.
