The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Ian Holm
Released to commemorate 100 years since Stevenson's death, this unabridged reading of the original story, like the Frankenstein, is much more rewarding and convincing than all the subsequent retellings and adaptations. Ian Holm's reading is powerful and conveys Dr Jekyll's searing agony of mind, not merely the horror of the narrative, as he battles with the persona and physical form of Mr Hyde. This original also develops the role of Dr Jekyll's lifelong friend, the 'lean, long' lawyer Mr Utterson, who witnesses the slow, terrifying destruction.
