About the author

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.

Anton and his parents arrive on the farm, where Rüdiger has already settled in. He seems to have trouble feeding himself, which makes him appear slightly creepy and, well, vampire-like when he first sees Anton. I don't know if it's the farm, but Rüdiger seems even more childish, confrontational and a general dick than usual, in addition to flat out lying and causing him and Anton falling out.

Anton's father has mellowed since the first book, but his mother is increasingly annoyed about Anton's obsession about vampires. In this volume she's desperately trying to change Anton into her and forcing him to be something he's not, which was depressing and infuriating. Let the kid be passionate about what he wants, for Christ's sake! There are worse things than reading books, and it's certainly not something to get pissed off about.

Interestingly, she also seems to think that fresh country air smelling of cow shit is not bad, unlike the musty smell of the grave she's always complaining about in Anton's room. Having grown up in the countryside, I can say that cow shit DOES NOT smell better than soil. Or maybe she just didn't smell any cow shit, and the vampire smell is something entirely different than just soil.

The countryside setting didn't prove to be as interesting or exciting as it could have been, despite Rüdiger having trouble with the "monsters" of the farm and getting very close to being imprisoned/killed.

I first read this as a young teenager (possibly younger), and it is one of the only books I’ve re-read a few times.

I still have my original copy of this with my maiden name written in pencil inside the front cover .

Fond memories of this book :-) I loved the TV series at the time too. I tried watching it a few years ago, and it was quite terrible. Oh how we see things differently as we age and technology improves, ha ha :-)

Tony was a real brat in this one

[Lady Tea · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rating: 3 / 5

Unlike the other books of this series, thus far, I'm sorry to say that this book just doesn't have the same sense of urgency as the others. And yes, I mean urgency. Unlike the previous books, in which we had to fear either for Tony's life or Rudolph's undead state / discovery, in this book, it just feels like a variety of different farmyard hijinks, without really too much going on beneath the surface. All in all, I'd say that it was average, and thus an average rating is what it gets.

Will retry someday, to see if a second-time rating is more favourable; but for now, lukewarm is how we leave it.

3,5⭐/5

Uwielbiałam Wampirka za dzieciaka! Nie mogłam też się wówczas doczekać kolejnych tomów (w bibliotece ciągle wszystkie tomy były w wypożyczeniu, więc seria cieszyła się dość wielkim 'wzięciem'). Bardzo klimatyczna, wciągająca i zwyczajnie przyjemna seria, każda część tak samo świetna.

(aktualizuję gr i dodaję książki od samego początku zapisywania)

Çok özlemişim. Küçük vampir bana çocukluğumu hatırlatan bir seri. Şimdi tekrardan koleksiyon olarak bütün kitaplarını topladım. Ve hepsini tekrardan okuyacağım.

Bunca sene geçti ama bu serinin içimde yarattığı his asla değişmedi.

Super cute book about Anton and his family's summer vacation on a farm! And of course the little vampire Rüdiger has joined him!

[Keileen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Für mich der schwächste Teil der Reihe. Der kleine Vampir taucht für mich viel zu wenig auf und bekleckert sich zeigt sich dann nicht gerade von seiner besten Seite.
Trotzdem noch gute 4 Sterne.

[Rabea · Rating 3 out of 5]

Es ist schon etwas komisch die Bücher als erwachsene Person zu hören. Früher wollte ich natürlich am liebsten wie Anton Vampirfreunde haben.
Heute würde ich das eher weniger wollen - Vorallem wenn die so sind wie Rüdiger und Anna. Rüdiger ist denkt nur an sich, Anna ist leicht delulu. Die beiden stinken nach Zwiebeln und Muffig und sind für ihr hohes Alter nicht sehr Weise.
Anton ist eigentlich auch echt anstrengend und wird von seinen Eltern gemobbt.
Macht es trotzdem Spaß das Buch zu lesen bzw zu hören? Absolut.
Dieser Band knüpft direkt an den vorherigen an, also ist es vielleicht besser (aber nicht zwingend notwendig) zumindest den vorher zu lesen.

[Oliwia · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best one yet (from the first four that I've read).

[Livietta]

Quando si parla di ricordi di infanzia, impossibile rimanere obbiettivi: per questo non me la sento di dare una valutazione a questo libro.
I primi tre fanno parte delle mie letture di bambina, questo mi è capitato in mano dopo la riedizione che ne ha fatto giunti. Che dire, quindi, se non delizioso? Attendo ora i capitoli successivi per rimettermi in pari dopo quasi una trentina di anni.

"Amizade significa não pensar só em si mesmo, mas também pensar um pouco no outro..."

Quando uma amizade exige muito de você chegou a hora de você repensar o caso.
Ah O Pequeno Vampiro leitura perfeita para fazer antes de dormir!

Calificación: ⭐⭐ (2.0/5)

Sinopsis:

En esta entrega...

Anton está ansioso por pasar sus vacaciones en una granja, esperando encontrarse con Rüdiger. Pero la vida en el campo no es sencilla para un vampiro que debe esconderse entre los animales y alimentarse de huevos. ¡Imagina esa mezcla única de emociones! 🥚🐄

Pero, atención, las cosas se ponen interesantes: Rüdiger se aburre y enoja, ¡quiere probar sangre humana! ¿Qué podría salir mal? 😱🧛‍♂️ Un plan que va de mal en peor cuando Rüdiger cae en las garras de un experto en vampiros que lo reconoce y ¡zas!, ¡lo captura! Anton no se quedará de brazos cruzados y, armado con valentía e ingenio, se lanzará en una misión de rescate.

Opinión:

🧛‍♂️📚 ¡Un libro "grandioso" que despierta ciertas... perplejidades! 😏

Este libro tiene su encanto, sin duda. Pero, permitidme ser un poco sarcástico: parece que el egoísmo del vampiro, que, recordemos, es un libro infantil, ¡sigue y sigue como un mal hábito que no se va! Uno podría pensar que después de varios libros, aprendería una lección o dos sobre la amistad. 🤔📖

👉 Aunque este viaje empieza maravillosamente, no puedo evitar pensar que la trama se torna un tanto... tediosa. Quizás sea el momento perfecto para algunos cambios y giros inesperados en las próximas historias. 🔄💡

👉 Con optimismo, espero que las futuras aventuras nos sorprendan con una evolución en los personajes y un poco más de diversidad en la trama.

I loved this book because tony believed in vampires and his parents didn’t. tony didn’t want to go anywhere else but their mum said you can go somewhere like the farm then his parents dragged him to the car and went to the farm when they got there tony saw the person who was in charge of it and it was an old lady who looked like a scaredy cat but she wasn’t. She could ride horses, she could milk cows, and she could stand around chickens that’s kind of annoying. The most annoying thing was that he had to sleep with a lady and man. so he went to bed and he heard these weird noises in the coffin so he got really scared and he was brace enough to go there and see what was there so he peeped in and saw a pig jump on his face and he was screaming so much until the lady and the man saw him.
I gave it 5 stars because there wasn’t anything bad and there wasn’t any bad bits. There are quite a few funny bits.

Cerita yang sangat ringan, tentang liburan Anton yang membosankan di sebuah desa kecil bersama orang tuanya. Anton berteman dengan drakula cilik bernama Rudi yang ikut dengannya berlibur ke desa itu. Rudi sempat membuat warga ketakutan dengan bayangannya yang disangka mereka 'kupu-kupu besar', belum lagi telur ayam yang dihisapnya sampai tinggal cangkang saja.

Sepanjang cerita, hanya ada satu hal yang saya pikirkan: Apakah penerjemah mengganti nama tokoh dan beberapa hal menjadi "lebih Indonesia"? Entahlah, saya hanya merasa nama Rudi Batugoyah atau Anton terlalu Indonesia untuk buku cerita terjemahan hehehe.

3,5 estrellas




Este cuarto libro de la saga me ha parecido muy entretenido y tierno. En esta ocasión, Anton acompaña al Pequeño Vampiro a la granja, lo que da pie a nuevas aventuras llenas de humor y situaciones inesperadas. Me gusta cómo, aunque los libros son sencillos, siguen transmitiendo un encanto especial y mantienen el espíritu entrañable de la saga.

Es una lectura ligera y rápida, perfecta para cuando quieres algo divertido y con un aire nostálgico. Continúa siendo una saga muy entrañable que quiero seguir disfrutando poco a poco.

Ich habe das Buch zuletzt als Kind gelesen. Heute als Erwachsene fand ich es stellenweise echt beklemmend, weil wir Rüdiger auf seinen nächtlichen Beutezügen begleiten, und er dabei eben alles andere als erfolgreich ist. Ich frage mich, wie er sich überhaupt „ernährt“, wenn er nicht auf dem Land ist. Im Grunde genommen ist er ziemlich mitleidserregend und hilflos.

Bei Spotify kann man alle Bücher des kleinen Vampirs als Hörbuch hören.
Finde ich schön.

Das vierte Buch ist wieder hervorragend gelesen.
Leider ist die Story an sich recht dünn und das Ende kommt auch abrupt.

[Anna Mehlmann · Rating 2 out of 5]

Puhhh, Anton war echt schwer zu ertragen in dem Teil...
Immerhin haben sich die Freundschaftsverhätnisse besonders intensiviert.
So ein Poesie-Album, wei das von Anna, ist schon eine nette Idee.

,,Hab ich Blut,
geht's mir gut.
Hab ich Sekt,
geht's mir schlecht."

I don't remember what happens in this one but I think Rüdiger's family is involved and I just love them a lot.

Se i primi erano da tre, andando avanti si abbassa decisamente il target.
Cominciano a starmi antipatici Vampiretto e i genitori di Anton.

Stöbermann is a great character!

We finally got to go with Tony on his vacation, the one he did not want or have interest in. In the end, Tony's mom & dad may have learned more than Tony or the Vampires.

I read this series when I was young and it made me like reading books. that's why these series of books have an important place in my life.

[Phil Syphe · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was one of two books presented to me when I left primary school in July 1986.

I can't find an exact copy of the edition I received, so have opted for this one. Mine featured a cover picture of the young actor who played the part of the little vampire in the then popular TV series of that name.

Hard to remember much about it all these years on, but I reckon I will have read it twice, as I was hooked on the TV series and was delighted to receive this as one of my "leaving" books.
