Introduction
Mr Hyde was pale and small, and he had an ugly smile . . . But these were not important matters. They did not explain the feelings of hate and fear that Mr Utterson had. There was something more. The lawyer could notfind a name for it. 'It is something about the man — some terrible evil,'he thought. 'Oh, , my poor Henry fekyll!There is evil in the face of your new friend!' Mr Utterson is worried about Dr Jekyll. W h y has the doctor made a friend of the frightening Mr Hyde ? W h o is the evil little man ? Where did he come from ? A n d most important of all, why does he seem to have power over the good, honestDr Jekyll? Then comes the murder of Sir Danvers Carew, and suddenly everybody in London is looking for Mr Hyde — the murderer. But the evil little man has disappeared. Or has he ? As Mr Utterson tries to find answers to these questions, he learns the terrible secret of Dr Jekyll's dangerous experiments. Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, in Scotland, in 1850. In 1867 he went toEdinburgh University, but he really wanted to be a writer. His parents suggested studying law and he did that. But he continued to write. In 1875 Stevenson went to live in northern France. There he met an American woman called Fanny Osbourne. Fanny was married w i t h two children, and she was ten years older than Stevenson. She came from Indiana, in the United States. Fanny Osbourne and Stevenson fellin love. Fanny left her husband and, in 1880, she and Stevenson were able to get married. The wedding was in the city of San Francisco, on the west coast of America.

Stevenson and Fanny were married for fourteen years. They travelled a lot during that time — to Scotland, France, Switzerland, N e w York and the South Seas. Stevenson suffered from bad health. He spent most of his life tryingto find a warm and comfortable place to live. He lived in Bournemouth, on the south coast of England, for a short time. Then, in 1888, he and Fanny went to live in Samoa. He died there in 1894, at the age of forty-four. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote travel books, poems and stories. His first story book, Treasure Island (1883), was finished in Switzerland. It is probably his most famous book, andchildren all over the world love it. Stevenson first wrote it for Fanny Osbourne's young son, Lloyd. Other books by Robert Louis Stevenson are Travels with a Donkey in Cevennes (1879), A Child's Garden of Verses (1885), a book of poems, and Kidnapped (1886). Kidnapped is an exciting adventure story about David Balfour. It was followed (but not immediately) by Catriona (1893); this continues...
