"[1] The novel, written in 1979, spawned a series of books, and the plot has been adapted to theatre, radio, cinema, and television.

Sommer-Bodenburg wrote the first chapter of The Little Vampire as an experiment to get to see what types of literature could hold the interest of her students.

She calls the success of the Little Vampire series a "mixed blessing" to her career as an author, stating on her website: "I was pigeon-holed as the author of children's books and, within this pigeon-hole, I was further classified as the author of vampire books.
