Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Stevenson's 'shilling shocker' is a psychological mystery in which a 'damnable young man' stalks the London fog, connected in some horrific way with the respectable Dr Jekyll and an evil chemical potion. Stevenson said there were 'Little People' inside his head stage-managing the 'internal theatre' of his dreams and he credited these 'Brownies' with giving him the idea for Jekyll and Hyde. A new Faber Classics edition of this uncanny tale of split personality.
