Synopsis

This version of ‘The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde’ contains the complete text of Robert Louis Stevenson’s original as well as an excellent translation of the difficult sections of the story. It is an ideal version for a GCSE student to read in class and accompanies ‘Analysis and Study Guide: Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’, which contains the answers to the questions in this book. The focus here is the text itself but it is punctuated with simple explanations of what is going on as well as in-depth analysis. All the difficult vocabulary and phrases are explained. Comprehension questions as well as creative exercises are listed at the end of every chapter. If you want an affordable “classroom” version of this seminal narrative, then this is the edition to buy.
