INTRODUCTION Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on November 13, 1850.

He was in poor health most of his life, mostly from respiratory troubles, and sicknesses during his childhood interfered with his schooling. However, he read a lot and developed a passion for literature. In Stevenson's day, those with health problems were encouraged to travel to encounter better climates, and Stevenson, who was restless anyway, spent several years doing just that. His first two books, An Inland Voyage (1878) and Travels With a Donkey (1879), were based on his travels in Europe. In addition to travel books, Stevenson also wrote short stories, novels, and poems, and, despite his poor health, he was a prolific writer. New Arabian Nights appeared in 1882, followed by Treasure Island, the work that made him famous, in 1883. A Child's Garden of Verses, a still- popular collection of children's poems, appeared in 1885, and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was published in 1886. Many of his major works of fiction, such as Kidnapped (1886) and The Master of Ballantrae (1889) show clearly how much he enjoyed adventure and the physical pleasures of new places and new faces. In 1876 in France, he met Fanny Osbourne, an American woman separated from her husband, and he moved to San Francisco to be with her in 1879. They married in 1880 and soon returned to Scotland. After spending several more years traveling, they eventually settled in Samoa, an island in the South Pacific, where he spent the last four years of his life. A Footnote to History (1892) and In the South Seas (1896) are based on his travels in the South Pacific. Stevenson was deeply enamored of and sympathetic to the islanders and won their love and respect. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage on December 3, 1894.

Stevenson begins the novel on a street in Soho. Mr. Utterson, a lawyer, and his cousin, Mr. Enfield, are taking their usual Sunday walk. They stop at an unusual door, and Enfield tells Utterson that sometime back, he had seen a strange and ill-tempered man trample a small girl and then walk away. Enfield and other bystanders had forced the stranger to pay money to the girl's family to avoid trouble. The man then entered the door and emerged with ten pounds in gold and a check signed by Dr. Jekyll. This stranger is none other than Mr. Hyde. Enfield has a hard time describing Hyde, other than to say that everyone present found him strangely repulsive.
