Description
The first book-length work in English on a strange episode that exercises perennial fascination for French historians. The Beast of the Gvaudan terrorized an entire countryside for years during the 18th century, killing scores of men, women, and children but ignoring the domestic animals. This is the true story, so far as it can be reconstructed, of the ravages in the province of Gvaudan, and the incompetence, intrigue, corruption, and indifference in high places.
