By George Cressida Cowell at Hay

We went to hear Cressida Cowell at the Book Festival. She has written the books of Hiccup the Viking. Hiccup has a dragon called Toothless. Toothless is a bit lazy ad he stutters. She stared to write because she lived on an island when she was young and there wasn't much to do and they kept finding weird fish and things in the sea. There were cliffs there a bit like in the books.

While Henry waited in line to see Cressida , he did a couple of drawings as we had left our copy of her book back at the B and B for her to sign, he had plenty of time as the queue took an hour. There were lots of people and Cressida insisted on talking to each person carefully about their feelings.
