Format:Kindle Edition
This book is really quite marvellous! It's language is old fashioned; it was written early last century, but the content, for the most part, is excellent. The book attempts to find the origins of the werewolf myth which it does very well, discussing myths from around the world and from many cultures. These chapters are very interesting as are the chapters where anecdotal evidence is pondered over. Unfortunately the book loses it's way towards the end by embedding itself in one particular tale from France. The case is documented with in painstaking detail and becomes very boring with none of the interest and vitality of the earlier chapters.
Despite this I would still recommend the book for it's only that last quarter that is dull - just steer clear of The Vampyre, A Tale, which is often it's recommneded companion but has nothing of the exploratory nature of this book

Its just amazing to read this collection of stories relating to Were folk. Did they really believe what they were writing? This was the most entertaining question to ask yourself. Its a job lot of stories. Some are well written and all in all I was surprised how many stories from different parts of the world existed about this fabled curse.

WHAT is Lycanthropy? The change of manor woman into the form of a wolf, either through magical means, so as to enable him or her to gratify the taste for human flesh, or through judgment of the gods in punishment for some great offence.
