An unmissable collection of three How to Train Your Dragon stories, featuring new and exclusive short story WHEN THE WINDWALKER CHANGED.

1. Hiccup’s dragon Toothless gives his best tips on training a human in HOW TO TRAIN YOUR VIKING
2. A deadly sea dragon stalks the Isle of Berk in THE DAY OF THE DREADER
3. And the BRAND-NEW WHEN THE WINDWALKER CHANGED, packed with action, adventure and grand reveals!
