«Der Kleine Vampir» is Angela Sommer-Bodenburg's children's fantasy novel, in paperback, published by Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag (128 pages).
Anton devours scary stories, especially about vampires, though he never imagines meeting one for real. Rüdiger is a likeable and peculiar vampire: he never takes off his worn black cape, always hides his mouth with his hand, and gives off a strange smell. Amid comic adventures, Anton will try to keep his parents from discovering his new friend.
First instalment of the «Der kleine Vampir» series, comprising 21 volumes, with illustrations by Amelie Glienke.
Recommended for readers aged 8 to 12, especially those who enjoy vampire stories and humour.
Angela Sommer-Bodenburg is the author of a number of fantasy books for children. Her most famous contribution to the field of children's fantasy is The Little Vampire series, which has sold over 10 million copies and has been translated into over 30 languages. Sommer-Bodenburg states that her "vampire is not a bloodthirsty monster, however, but an affectionate little vampire with fears and foibles who will perhaps help free children of their own fears." The novel, written in 1979, spawned a series of books, and the plot has been adapted to theatre, radio, cinema, and television. A Canadian-German TV series was released in 1986 and a film version, directed by Uli Edel was released in 2000. Later a CG-animated film The Little Vampire 3D, directed by Richard Claus and Karsten Kiilerich, was released in 2017.
