The books are fabulous, and I am glad, there was an attempt to turn it into a show. This installment, however, lacks everything that made the books great to read - first and foremost the coziness of the childhood. There is a much better version ( and I am not talking about the movie, which had a complete different story, there is a new animated movie which might come closer, haven't seen this version yet, but) a couple of years later a sequel TV show followed ("The little vampire-new adventures"), for all lovers of the books and nice vampire stories: I do recommend this newer version with Jan Steilen etc.!

This TV series was clever and witty! I loved the story and especially the great acting. The Vampire actors were top notch. The adaptation was excellently done by Richard Nielsen and the special effects crew did a bang up job of making the flying scenes seem realistic. The camera work was also particularly well done. For example, there were many scenes that included animals that were particularly easy to watch. These scenes can tend to detract from the overall entertainment value but in this series that was not the case. I would highly recommend this series to anyone; children and adults alike.
