From the terror of the Gévaudan to the loup-garou trials of Poligny and the boy-wolf Jean Grenier, no land holds deeper werewolf lore than France - gathered here with a scholar's exacting eye.

Taken from Montague Summers' The Werewolf (1933), this volume follows lycanthropy through French chronicle, legend, and the celebrated witch-and-wolf trials of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The essay named in the subtitle, Caroline Taylor Stewart's The Origin of the Werewolf Superstition, is included in full. Augustus Montague Summers (1880 - 1948) was an English author and clergyman celebrated for his earnest studies of witches, werewolves, and vampires, all of which he held to be quite real; in 1928 he produced the first English translation of the notorious witch-hunters' manual, the Malleus Maleficarum.
