Book Overview

by Robert Louis Stevenson (Author)

A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's gothic stories with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, and a silk ribbon bookmark.

In Stevenson's most well-known tale of horror, 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. But gradually he begins to find that the journey back to goodness becomes more and more difficult, and the risk that Mr. Hyde will break free entirely from Dr. Jekyll's control puts all of London in grave peril.

In addition to The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, this deluxe edition includes The Body-Snatcher, A Lodging for the Night, Markheim, Thrawn Janet, and The Misadventures of John Nicholson.

This hardback is part of DK CLASSICS, a luxurious series of classic titles, thoughtfully crafted for collectors and fans of beautiful special editions. Each complete, unabridged book features sumptuous design and the highest quality finishes. Discover timeless classics beautifully bound for every bookshelf.

Stevenson gained his first popular success with Treasure Island (1883). The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which sold forty thousand copies in six months, and Kidnapped appeared in 1886, followed by The Black Arrow (1888) and The Master of Ballantrae (1889).
