Books By Ben Hoare, Cambridge Botanic Garden - Author

Ben is a bestselling wildlife writer who still can't quite believe that being a nature nerd is actually what he does for a living. After studying at the University of Cambridge he became an editor of children's non-fiction, then worked at BBC Wildlife Magazine, where he went in search of everything from leafcutter ants to whale sharks and met many of his heroes in conservation and natural-history TV. After that Ben became a full-time writer. A massive fan of libraries, he loves discovering cool facts about weird and wonderful species. He keeps chickens and used to be a beekeeper. His top tip? Never be sick in your snorkel.
