Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde & The Yellow Wallpaper: With Commentary by Alison Larkin

Written by Robert Louis Stevenson and Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Narrated by Derek Perkins and Alison Larkin

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde grew out of a horrifying nightmare Robert Louis Stevenson had one night in Bournemouth, England in 1886. "The Yellow Wallpaper" sprang from a catastrophic nervous breakdown Charlotte Perkins Gilman had six years later on the other side of the Atlantic following the birth of her daughter.

Now these two haunting, iconic tales are brought together for the first time in this powerful classic audio exploration of madness and the duality of the human soul. Read by A-list narrators Derek Perkins and Alison Larkin, this rich audio experience also includes commentary by Alison Larkin and "Why I Wrote the Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Poet and novelist Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was the author of a number of classic books for young readers, including Treasure Island , Kidnapped, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Mr. Stevenson was often ill as a child and spent much of his youth confined to his nursery, where he first began to compose stories even before he could read, and where he was cared for by his nanny, Alison Cunningham, to whom A Child's Garden of Verses is dedicated.
