An in-depth look at the mythology behind were-wolves. "A pleasant companion" to previous readings on the topic by Montague Summers. Imagine my surprise when - the entire book - not a single mention is made of that illustrious sleuth of the right-minded church!
Anyways, on it's own merits, brilliantly researched, approaching the myths of lycanthropy through classical writings, psychiatry, cave art, old trial records, etc, etc. All in all an enjoyable and informative read, by a slightly more discerning mind.
