Notes: "Recounts the fascinating history of Robert Louis Stevenson's epic horror story, 'Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.' It is the tale of a young author defying his father's wishes by becoming a spinner of romantic yarns. It is the tale of his American wife, ten years older than he, driving her husband hard to write one more great novel before his chronic lung disease carries him away. It is the tale of Stevenson reeling under charges from the mother of an old friend that he had fueled her son's fatal alcoholism through his recklessly Bohemian ways"--Book jacket flap.
