The ninth sequel to the adventurous and humorous tales of the heroic young Viking Hiccup the Beast Stitch the Third!

I never cease to marvel at the imagination of the author and her storytelling skills.

Cressida Cowell
(* 1966) English writer, studied English at Keble College, Oxford, and graduated from St Martin's School of Art and the University of Brighton, where she studied graphic design and illustration. She began writing at the age of nine, when she moved with her parents from London to a small island off the west coast of Scotland. The surrounding wild and rugged landscape directly encouraged the invention of stories about dragons. Yet she did not publish her first children's book on the subject until she was 33. She is the author of the Hiccup Šelmovská Štika series (Slovart), the best known of which is the first volume of How to Train Your Dragon, which also became the basis for the 2010 animated film of the same name and its two sequels How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) and How to Train Your Dragon 3 (2019). She followed up her success with another award-winning series of children's stories, The Magicians of the Ancient World (Slovart, 2019), which will also be published in book and audiobook form. She is the winner of the 2018 Blue Peter Book Award for her Magicians of Old series and the 2006 Nestlé Children's Book Prize for her stories of a little girl named Emily Brown.
