However, he has a little drink on his wedding day, and becomes a wolf (seemingly in spirit, not form - he is referred to as a lycanthrope) and eats his new wife's heart. The tale is subtitled A Tale of the Otranto School. Full contemporary calf. Some chipping and wear to the corners and edges, Spine darkened and flaky. Foxing to the prelims and edges.
