'He put the glass to his lips and drank at one gulp ... his face became suddenly black and the features seemed to melt and alter'.

Published as a 'shilling shocker', Robert Louis Stevenson's dark psychological fantasy gave birth to the idea of the split personality. The story of respectable Dr Jekyll's strange association with 'damnable young man' Edward Hyde; the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer; and the final revelation of Hyde's true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil.

Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes is one of the first to present hiking and camping as recreational activities, and is as influential as Stevenson's fiction.

In 1878 Robert Louis Stevenson escaped from his numerous troubles, poor health, tormented love, and inadequate funds by embarking on a journey through the Cévennes in France, accompanied by Modestine, a rather single-minded donkey.
