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.

Review:

"Stevenson's short stories are certain to retain their position in English literature. His serious rivals are few indeed" (Arthur Conan Doyle)

"Mr Hyde's sordid and perhaps deviant excesses are rendered more suggestive through being left undescribed" (Sarah Waters)

"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)

"Jekyll and Hyde, in particular, is such an important novel in terms of suspense and setting a perfect scene for crime" (Alanna Knight)

"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
