Following Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third from awkward Viking apprentice to unlikely hero, this fantasy adventure series blends dry British wit with real heart. Perfect for readers aged 7 and up, it's an ideal gift for dragon fans and anyone who loved the DreamWorks films and wants to meet the funnier book versions of Hiccup and Toothless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLong before the films, Cressida Cowell's original novels introduced a very different, funnier Berk, narrated by Hiccup years after his adventures took place. Across all twelve books, Hiccup must survive dragon-training school, outwit rival Vikings, face sea monsters, and prove that brains and kindness can triumph over brute strength. Each book builds on the last, tracking Hiccup's growth from the smallest, most overlooked Viking on the island into the hero his tribe never expected. Illustrated throughout with Cowell's own scribbly line drawings, the stories mix laugh-out-loud humour with genuine emotional stakes, exploring friendship and courage. Fans of the films will recognise familiar characters, but will also discover a richer, quirkier mythology unique to the books, including invented dragon species and Hiccup's own witty asides. The series has sold millions of copies worldwide and is regularly recommended by teachers as a brilliant bridge into longer fiction. With twelve complete stories, young readers can follow Hiccup's whole journey in order, building reading stamina and vocabulary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete 12-book paperback collection — every title in Hiccup's story, ready to read in order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for ages 7 and up, supporting the jump from short chapter books to longer fantasy fiction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrated throughout with Cressida Cowell's own distinctive line drawings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFun for fans of the DreamWorks film franchise wanting the original book adventures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat value versus buying twelve individual paperbacks separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA brilliant gift for birthdays, Christmas, or encouraging reluctant readers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCressida Cowell MBE is the British author and illustrator behind How to Train Your Dragon and the Wizards of Once series.

In How to Train Your Dragon, Hiccup must tame a dragon to avoid banishment, despite being saddled with the toothless, decidedly un-fierce Toothless. How to Be a Pirate sends Hiccup racing to recover his ancestors' treasure before the villainous Alvin the Treacherous. In How to Speak Dragonese, Hiccup and Fishlegs must rescue Toothless from Roman captors and retrieve a stolen dragon-training manual. How to Cheat a Dragon's Curse sees the friends racing to cure a mysterious, deadly illness. How to Twist a Dragon's Tale takes Hiccup to an island threatened by an active volcano and marauding Exterminator Dragons, while A Hero's Guide to Deadly Dragons closes the set with birthday chaos and a stolen training book. Cowell's distinctive hand-lettered illustrations run throughout, adding charm to every page - and these stories combine slapstick comedy with genuine warmth, teaching courage, loyalty and self-belief without ever feeling preachy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete run of the first six books in reading order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFun, fast-paced adventures packed with dragons, Vikings and humour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-illustrated by the author throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages independent reading with accessible, engaging chapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect gift for fans of the films, TV series or fantasy adventure fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat value way to collect the whole early series in one paperback set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCressida Cowell is the author and illustrator of the internationally bestselling How to Train Your Dragon series, which has sold millions of copies worldwide and been translated into numerous languages.
