Childhood Memories
I remember reading this story over and over in elementary school. It was a favorite for everyone in my class and would create fights over who got to borrow it from the classroom. One of my fondest memories of 2nd grade was performing a play of this story.

Loved it
+ Vittorio the Vampire + Vittorio the Friendly Vampire
Loved this book. Finally, a misanthrope who isn't charging off to join the Lestat groupies. (I do love Lestat, so don't get all crazy on me)
Vittorio was beautifully written. I thought the setting was exceptional. Sacred and profane......two fantastic elements thrown together.
Who doesn't ...
