ABOUT THIS STORY
From the studio that brought you Shrek, Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda comes “How To Train Your Dragon.” Set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, and based on the book by Cressida Cowell, the action comedy tells the story of Hiccup, a Viking teenager who doesn’t exactly fit in with his tribe’s longstanding tradition of heroic dragon slayers. Hiccup’s world is turned upside down when he encounters a dragon that challenges him and his fellow Vikings to see the world from an entirely different point of view.

Narrated by Bradley Hughes
Jay Baruchel as Hiccup (voice)

Ah, to describe an app in two words... Free Audiobooks is just that- Free Audiobooks!

We take 2,947 of the greatest classic books in human history, package up their audiobooks, and make them available to download and listen to anytime, anywhere. All for less than a cup of coffee.

Free Audiobooks unlocks a world of public domain content, allowing you to acquire the great books of human history. Letters of leaders, the collected works of geniuses, the finest Victorian novels, the plays of Shakespeare, the philosophy of Seneca and Marcus Aurelius, the autobiographies of Benjamin Franklin and Teddy Roosevelt. It's all here, along with thousands of other audiobooks. And all, might we belabor the point, absolutely free.

While you won't find recent audiobooks like Twilight or Harry Potter, you will find a mindboggling amount of classic titles from throughout the ages.

These audiobooks, as read by the talented volunteers over at Librivox, have never been easier to get- just tap 'Listen' and we'll download the first chapter in seconds. Once downloaded, we'll always download enough chapters ahead that you're never without something to listen to. And, because we download the audiobook as you go, we'll never hog space like other audiobook apps.

Going on a road trip or airplane? Hit 'download all' and we'll download every chapter in the audiobook. Need more space? We make deleting an audiobook as easy as a tap. Want to listen in the background? No worries! Just hit 'Email to iTunes'.

Once you pay for the application every single piece of content within the app is free- unlike a lot of other apps we aren't a store, we're a buffet, and the app purchase is your wristband to pig out on shrimp. And by shrimp, we mean audiobooks like, you know, Shakespeare. Tasty, tasty audible morsels of Shakespeare.
