Cressida Cowell

Cressida Cowell is an author and illustrator whose children's books combine comic drawings, quick adventure, and heroes who learn by making mistakes. How to Train Your Dragon introduces Hiccup through a Viking world where ingenuity matters more than strength. How to Be a Pirate and How to Speak Dragonese widen that story through voyages, rivalries, and the changing bond between humans and dragons.

The Wizards of Once begins a different fantasy sequence, bringing warriors, wizards, and forbidden magic into the same unsettled landscape. Which Way to Anywhere moves into a large family adventure across connected worlds, while That Rabbit Belongs to Emily Brown shows Cowell's imaginative range in picture-book form. Readers looking for a long comic quest can enter through How to Train Your Dragon; The Wizards of Once offers a darker magical conflict, and Emily Brown provides a compact glimpse of her playful storytelling.
