Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

By
Robert Louis Stevenson
Wordsworth Editions Ltd
 With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Tim Middleton, Head of
English Studies, University of Ripon and York.

In seeking to discover his inner self, the brilliant Dr Jekyll discovers

a monster. First published to critical acclaim in 1886, this
mesmerising thriller is a terrifying study of the duality of man's
nature, and it is the book which established Stevenson's reputation
as a writer.

Also included in this volume is Stevenson's 1887 collection of short

stories, The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables.

The Merry Men is a gripping Highland tale of shipwrecks and

madness; Markheim, the sinister study of the mind of a murderer;
Thrawn Janet, a spine-chilling tale of demonic possession; Olalla, a
study of degeneration and incipient vampirism in the Spanish
mountains; Will O' the Mill, a thought-provoking fable about a
mountain inn-keeper; and The Treasure of Franchard, a study of
French bourgeois life.
