the peculiar case of dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde is a ebook of which the oft-repeated assertion is actually real, that its perusal is an unbroken spell.” This is from one in all many first reviews of the well-known novella pasted into a scrapbook with the aid of the writer’s mother, mrs. Margaret isabella balfour stevenson, approximately 130 years ago. Altogether, “maggie” compiled six such volumes overlaying her son’s profession in media clippings. 3 of them, which include the most effective posthumous scrapbook, soak up cabinet space in maggie’s former non-public space at baker’s, better recognised these days as the robert louis stevenson memorial cottage.
