Cressida Cowell: “This particular book began with a map I drew about six or seven years ago. I began in a large sketchbook which I filled with rough drawings and ideas, and then after I’d finished the last How to Train Your Dragon book, I showed it to my agent and my editor, who thankfully, thought it was brilliant. It’s nerve-wracking, writing a new series after 18 years, but I’m also very excited.”

Stowell, who has previously written dozens of books in-house, and runs story-writing and comics-making workshops at literary festivals and schools, told The Bookseller: “I’m delighted that The Dragon in the Library has found a home with Nosy Crow.
