Cressida Cowell is an English children's author. In the evening, Cressida’s father read the children tales of the Vikings, who had invaded this island Archipelago over half a millennium before, of the quarrelsome Tribes who fought and tricked each other, and of legendary dragons who were supposed to live in the caves in the cliffs. This was how Cressida herself first began to write stories about Vikings and dragons, back when she was eight or nine years old. Many years later, she turned her original childhood ideas into the book How to Train Your Dragon, featuring Hiccup the reluctant Viking, and his equally reluctant dragon, Toothless. How to Cheat A Dragon's Curse is the fourth in the series. During a hunting-with-bows-and-arrows-on-skis expedition, Hiccup finds Fishlegs acting strangely when they spot a group of Hysterics, a tribe of scary lunatic Vikings, who chase Fishlegs. Hiccup shoots an arrow at the chief Hysteric. Hiccup and Fishlegs flee on their skis, with the Hysterics behind in hot pursuit. Hiccup falls off the side of a cliff. Fishlegs has been struck with deadly Vorpentitis. The only cure is rare and almost impossible to find a potato. But where on Berk will Hiccup find such a thing? He’ll have to dodge Sharkworms, battle Doomfangs and outwit crazy Hooligans if he’s going to be a Hero again… You can listen online to free English audiobook “How to Cheat A Dragon's Curse” by Cressida Cowell on our website.
