My Library is for my historical and academic pursuits. Here you will find the tale of my tail and other links to the Breton Lais of Marie France.

"Since I'm making lais, Bisclavret
Is one I don't want to forget,
In Breton, "Bisclavret's" the name;
"Garwolf" in Norman means the same
Long ago you heard the tale told-
And it used to happen, in days of old-
Quite a few men became garwolves"

- opening lines of the "Lai de Bisclavret," by Marie de France
