About the Books This collection gathers the first six titles in Cressida Cowell's much-loved series, charting Hiccup's transformation from an awkward Viking novice into a courageous leader of the Hairy Hooligan Tribe. 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.
