While speaking to Frankenstein, he tells him, “My food is not that of man; I do not destroy the lamb and the kid to glut my appetite; acorns and berries afford me sufficient nourishment…The picture I present to you is peaceful and human.”
so yeah, I forgot that part. My copy is a 1963 paperback. It has a beautiful image on the cover but its starting to fall part, the cover has come apart from the seam. Its been a few years since I have read it but it is one of those books that stays with you, for sure!
The 1818 edition specifically says he eats berries & plants that he forages, & avoids eating meat
