Classic Retellings

Carnegie Medal winning author Tanya Landman delivers an eerily captivating and accessible retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic Victorian Gothic novel of murder and monstrosity. Evil Mr Hyde stalks London's streets, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. Good Dr Hyde keeps protecting him. Why? Is Hyde blackmailing Jekyll for some shameful past sin?
