How to Train Your Dragon

Following the extraordinary adventures of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, son and heir of Stoic the Vast, Chief of the Hooligan Tribe. There’s just one small problem, Hiccup isn’t your standard Viking. Forget what you’ve seen in the films, they digress so early from the books that I’m not even sure that they’re the same story really, this is the real story of Hiccup and Toothless. Spanning twelve books and featuring a whole host of endearingly titled Vikings (Baggybum the Beerbelly being my number one), How to Train Your Dragon charts Hiccup’s rise from hopeless embarrassment to the greatest Viking of all time. This is one of the all-time great bedtime stories, I read these a chapter or two at a time to Tomeopathy Jr. and we both love them. We can also recommend Cowell’s new series, The Wizards of Once.
