Children’s Book

Week

2014

Know the Author Cressida Cowell

Author of the 'How to train your dragon' books.

Cressida was born on 15th April 1966 in London.

She lives in London and is married to Simon

Cowell (not THAT Simon Cowell),

and has three children.

She studied at Oxford University,

(English), and St Martin’s and

Brighton University (Illustration).

Cressida illustrates the Hiccup

books herself. The Emily Brown

books are illustrated by Neal

Layton. She has had 20 books

published, 10 Hiccup fiction titles,

and ten picture books.

She got the idea for the Hiccup

books from childhood holidays

spent off the west coast of

Scotland.

Cressida likes: dragons, books,

movies, plays, musicals, boats, the

sea in general, chocolate,

drawing.

Cressida dislikes: spiders, limpets (for eating – trust me, not nice).

Cressida’s best friend at school was Lauren Child, who wrote the Charlie and Lola and Clarice Bean books. http://www.cressidacowell.co.uk/
