Description
An abridged and illustrated chapter book retelling of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, part of the bestselling Classic Starts series that has sold more than 8 million copies!
Set in the foggy streets of Victorian London, Robert Louis Stevenson's tale depicts Dr. Jekyll's transformation into the evil, amoral Mr. Hyde, after drinking a serum that he created in his laboratory.
While at first Jekyll revels in the freedom of his alter ego, gradually Hyde begins to take over Jekyll's entire being—with devastating consequences.
