When the Stone family take an Easter holiday in Romania Judy and Paul are very bored - that is until they meet a tiny vampire under a stone near Count Dracula's castle.

Not only is the vampire very tiny, he is also a vegetarian with dreams of starring in horror films...Vlad persuades Judy and Paul to smuggle him back to London but the children decide to keep him a secret in case the vampire gets put in a museum or the zoo.

Still a vampire left on his own all day can get terribly bored and find all kinds of mischief to pass the time.

A very funny book that has stood the test of time and an entertaining look at the problems facing an outsider.
