Guingamor, Lanval, Tyolet, Bisclaveret: Four lais rendered into English prose
This book tells various romantic medieval stories related to King Arthur in this book. The author Marie de France was considered to be the first female French poet by scholars.

In this book, the werewolf is not a scary beast but a wronged knight.
