Books in the Express Classics series

When their rich stepfather dies, two women are left poor by the rules of inheritance. They have to move to a tiny cottage in Devonshire. There, the primary ambition is to find suitable husbands. Candidates include the dashing Willoughby, the vicar Ferrars, and the retired Colonel Brandon. Which sister is the sensible one, and which one is more sensible?Express Classics is a fast-moving and accessible series that offers a quick way into a range of classic novels. Each story is a shortened, dramatically illustrated version of the original book and loses none of the strength and flavour of the original.

Retold for younger readers, this classic 1886 novel was not Robert Louis Stevenson's first novel, but it was one that helped to make him famous in his lifetime. The spine-chilling story shows the struggle between good and evil that Dr. Jekyll faced and how, in the end, his own good nature was overpowered by the evil in himself.
