OPHELIA THE OPERA SINGER

Another little adventure Hiccup enjoyed a lot was when he met Ophelia.

I think it would be true to say that he enjoyed it – in hindsight!

At the time he was with her, he did find himself in some uncomfortable situations with some of the musical instruments which accompanied Ophelia when she sang.

He had a much easier time with Nimbus and following his time with Ophelia, she led him to meet Pierre. Hiccup admits that he enjoyed being with Pierre more than most of the other adventures he had with the Alphabetabears.

The picture of Ophelia is from the early book of the teddy-bears.

‘Papa?’ he didn’t keep quiet for long.

I was keen to hear what he would say now.

‘You know how you have almost finished writing and drawing stories about me; you said you only have two more to complete. Is that right?’

I explained that I had nearly finished the 26 books so far.*

‘I think we should write some more stories. I like to have ones with magic in them and really funny things happening.’

This was music to my ears because I have been drafting ideas for another series of books, all of which are about Hiccup mostly, and I have added little dribbles of magic and unusual occurrences; so that should keep Hiccup happy.

‘That is good, Papa.’ The voice at my shoulder spoke again. That jolly bear has been reading over my shoulder. At least he will be kept happy now for a year or so.

I will issue an update as and when I begin them.

* Plus ‘Ten Little Hiccups’ which is in print now.
