A brilliant reinvention of Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde--published together with the full original classic in a special flip edition. Two books in one!
 
"Had I approached my discovery in a more noble spirit, had I risked the experiment while under the empire of generous or pious aspirations, all must have been otherwise..."
 
Published in 1886, the tale of kindly Dr. Jekyll inventing a potion that releases his repressed persona, the evil Mr. Hyde, is one of the world's best-known stories. But Jekyll's turn for the worse was only the beginning. Shortly after the doctor's untimely death, his estate is sold to cold-blooded banker Geoffrey Bodkin, who stumbles upon the fateful potion and unleashes his own alter-ego: Father Whitechapel, saintly almsgiver to the East End paupers. But what begins as a story of loving charity soon becomes one of embezzlement, scandal and murder, as Mr. Bodkin struggles to keep Father Whitechapel from being branded London's most notorious villain--Jack the Ripper. Keller masterfully evokes Victorian London and its vernacular in this suspenseful debut novel, taking literary adaptations to a new level of sophistication and virtuosity while exploring timeless themes of class warfare, the dark side of philanthropy, and the catastrophic consequences of unhindered goodness.
