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/ about-cressida-cowell.asp z
