Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (Arcturus Ornate Classics)

This handsome gift edition presents Robert Louis Stevenson's classic work Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, featuring a luxurious, silver-embossed cover design, gilded page edges and patterned endpapers.

When Gabriel Utterson, a lawyer, first encounters the figure of Edward Hyde, he has little notion of the man's background. Bringing Hyde to account for an attack on a girl, he discovers that Hyde is acquainted with one of his clients, a Dr Henry Jekyll. Disturbed by Hyde's behaviour, Utterson worries about the power that Hyde seems to exert over Jekyll, despite assurances from the latter. But after further attacks occur, in which an MP is murdered, events take a turn for the worse and Utterson begins to piece together the terrible truth behind both Jekyll's behaviour and the appearance of the sociopath Edward Hyde.

This pocket-sized gift edition contains the classic and unabridged text, presented with a silver embossed cover design, ivory pages, beautifully designed endpapers and silver gilded page edges. Part of the Arcturus Ornate Classics series, this book makes wonderful gift for any lover of classic fiction.
