John Eaton is a British author, lyricist and creator whose work spans comic fiction, poetry, children’s storytelling and musical satire. Across books, songs and stage-ready narratives, his defining strength is the same: a sharp observational eye paired with warmth, wit and an instinct for story. He is the creator of Spid the Spider, the much-loved children’s book and music series that blends humour, rhythm and gentle moral insight, engaging readers and listeners aged 4–10 and their families. The series has grown into a substantial body of work encompassing books, albums and educational resources. Eaton’s music has been streamed more than twelve million times worldwide, underlining his ability to connect with large audiences through character, melody and narrative. Alongside this, Eaton has published several poetry collections, ranging from reflective and lyrical to sharply satirical. His verse explores everyday absurdities, relationships, social behaviour and modern life, often using humour as a lens to reveal deeper truths. His poetry has been praised for its accessibility, musicality and human touch. More recently, Eaton has turned his attention to comedy crime fiction. Murder at Cranborne Abbey, the first novel in the Chipp and Pinn series publishes in September 2026. Drawing on the classic British tradition of comic crime—from Wodehouse to Sharpe—Eaton combines tightly plotted mystery with farce, character-driven comedy and an affectionate skewering of institutions and human foibles. The result is crime fiction that entertains as much through voice and character as through plot. In musical storytelling, John is working on an exciting satirical stage project - Agent Orange – A Trumped-Up Musical. This will bring his flair for lyricism, topical humour to theatrical audiences. Whether writing for the page, the ear or the stage, Eaton’s work is united by a clear authorial voice: playful, intelligent and unapologetically human. John Eaton publishes through Spidling Productions, an independent media production company producing books, music and animation projects for both children and adults. He lives in Taunton.
