Another excellent horror classic story! I've watched the movie and now I finally read the book! It's broken in three parts. The first part as seen from his lawyer. The second part was a letter written from his friend who witnessed the change and lastly was the letter written by Jekyll. Disburbing and interesting. (

This book includes four stories, the Jekyll and Hyde story, "The Body-Snatcher," "Markheim" and The Bottle Imp. Classic suspense and horror from the 1800s, Robert Lewis Stevenson is a great tale teller. These are a quick read, but lots of fun if you put yourself in the right ghostly frame of mind to read them.

Epigraph

It's ill to loose the bands that God decreed to bind;
Still will we be the children of the heather and the wind.
Far away from home, oh it's still for you and me
That the broom is blowing bonnie in the north countrie.

Dedication

To Katherine de Mattos

First words

Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable.
