Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Adaptation)

Make Oxford Bookworms Library

By: Robert Louis Stevenson, Jennifer Bassett - adaptation

Narrated by: Charles Collingwood

You are walking through the streets of London. It is getting dark and you want to get home quickly. You enter a narrow side-street. Everything is quiet, but as you pass the door of a large, windowless building, you hear a key turning in the lock. A man comes out and looks at you. You have never seen him before, but you realize immediately that he hates you. You are shocked to discover, also, that you hate him. Who is this man that everybody hates? And why is he coming out of the laboratory of the very respectable Dr Jekyll? An Oxford Bookworms Library reader for learners of English, adapted from the Robert Louis Stevenson original by Rosemary Border.

Critic reviews

"The most consistent of all series in terms of language control, length, and quality of storytelling." (David R Hill, ELT Journal Review)

Modern language

I needed a more modern version for y kids . The language of the original is too difficult. This is perfect, Thank you!

Ugh, please get better narrators!

Honestly, the story is the best, but the narrators are awful - laughable really. It was so distracting to the story, not even funny.
