Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Wordsworth Collector’s Editions)

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson 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.
