In this carefully abridged version of Robert Louis Stevenson's much-loved classic, Chris Mould brings a mix of humour and verve both to his re-telling of the story, and the illustrations which accompany it. Reissued in a new and accessible format, along with "Hound of the Baskervilles", "Treasure Island", and "Frankenstein", "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" forms part of a vibrant and hugely collectible series. The text is re-written with great care. It is suitable for less confident readers. It contains sparky, spiky illustrations, full of character and witty observation. The cartoon style layout means that this classic story is presented with great immediacy and in an easily accessible form.
