The story of respectable Dr Jekyll s strange association with damnable young man Edward Hyde; the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer; and the final revelation of Hyde s true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity s basest capacity for evil. This edition also includes Stevenson s chilling story The Bottle Imp . The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War."
