Author(s): Cressida Cowell

Children & Young Adult

A unique edition of Cressida Cowell's first story about Hiccup. This hardback book includes the short story How to train your Viking, and copies of precious papers found hidden in a cave, that included Hiccup's birth certificate, and a drawing of the dragon jewel. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was a truly extraordinary Viking Hero. Warrior chieftain, awesome sword-fighter and amateur naturalist, he was known throughout Vikingdom as 'the Dragon Whisperer', on account of his amazing power over these terrifying beasts. But it wasn't always like that. In fact, in the beginning, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was the most put upon Viking you'd ever seen. Not loud enough to make himself heard at dinner with his father, Stoick the Vast; not hard enough to beat his chief rival, Snotlout, at Bashyball, the number one school sport and cartainkly not stupid enough to go into a cave full of dragons to find a pet.
