Dr Jekyll has been experimenting with his identity. He has developed a drug which separates the two sides of his nature and allows him occasionally to abandon himself to his most corrupt inclinations as the monstrous Mr Hyde.

Trade Reviews

"Stevenson's short stories are certain to retain their position in English literature. His serious rivals are few indeed"
"Mr Hyde's sordid and perhaps deviant excesses are rendered more suggestive through being left undescribed"
"A fable that lies nearer to poetry than to ordinary prose fiction"
"Robert Louis Stevenson...was a storyteller, that's what I'd like to be, that's what I'm trying to be"
"Jekyll and Hyde, in particular, is such an important novel in terms of suspense and setting a perfect scene for crime"
