Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) wrote The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde while recovering from illness at his home in the seaside town of Bournemouth, England. First published as a one-shilling paperback, also known as a ''penny dreadful,'' the novella was an immediate success, selling nearly 40,000 copies in its first six months in the United Kingdom and the United States.
