CAB Comment––You would be hard pressed to come across anyone in modern society who hasn’t at least heard of “Dr. Jeckyll And Mr. Hyde”. Most will not likely have read the excellent classic novella, but countless will have seen a screen adaptation of the tale. This 1920s Popular Classics Edition is part of a series of the world’s greatest literature, and was originally designed for those on a budget. I love the simplicity and old-world charm of this edition, with its beautifully aged cover and spine and buff-toned pages. Just a neat little book for reading a creepy tale before the nightstand lamp is turned off. This edition also includes Stevenson’s “Kidnapped”.
“Dr. Jeckyll And Mr. Hyde”––Amazon Synopsis:
“Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is the original title of a novella written by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson that was first published in 1886. The work is commonly known today as The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, or simply Jekyll & Hyde. It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The work is commonly associated with the rare mental condition often called "split personality", referred to in psychiatry as dissociative identity disorder, where within the same body there exists more than one distinct personality. In this case, there are two personalities within Dr. Jekyll, one apparently good and the other evil. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next.”
