Synopsis

Improve your English without effort - with an exciting story!

The smile left Doctor Jekyll’s face and it was replaced by an expression of terror. Seeing it froze the blood of the two men below.

Doctor Jekyll is kind, lively and has lots of friends. So why is he friends with Mr Hyde, a rude and violent man, who makes everyone feel afraid? His friends try to find out the truth, but Jekyll’s secret may be more terrible than they imagined.
