The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde & Other Stories: The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde, the Beach at Falsea, Edd-Tide - Softcover
How thin is the line between good and evil?
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.

"A fable that lies nearer to poetry than to ordinary prose fiction" (Vladimir Nabokov)
"Robert Louis Stevenson...was a storyteller, that's what I'd like to be, that's what I'm trying to be" (Quintin Jardine)
