John Kendrick Bangs (1862 1922) was born in Yonkers, New York, and
is known for his work as an author, editor, and satirist. He worked
for "Life," a number of "Harper s" periodicals, and "Puck," perhaps
the foremost American humour magazine of its day. Inspired by the
fantasy of Lewis Carroll s "Alice," Bangs wrote "Rollo in
Emblemland" together with Charles Raymond Macauley in 1902. The
story tells of a young boy named Rollo who visits a strange country
peopled with symbols and icons emblems of culture like John Bull,
Uncle Sam, the Owl, the?Stork, Puck, Mr Punch, Father Time, Cupid,
and others. Macauley s line drawings are charming and some of the
verse in the book is reminiscent of Carroll s.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, originally titled Strange Case of Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, is an 1886 novel written by Robert Louis
Stevenson. The story revolves around a London lawyer, Gabriel John
Utterson, who investigates strange incidents between his old
friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the misanthropic Edward Hyde. The
novel is commonly associated with the rare mental condition
casually referred to as "split" or "dual" personality-where the
same person has both good and an evil personalities, quite distinct
from each other. A timeless classic, it has entered common parlance
as people refer to "Jekyll and Hyde" to describe a person with a
dramatically different moral character from one situation to the
next. This publication of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is part of the
Qualitas Classics Fireside Series, where pure, ageless classics are
presented in clean, easy to read reprints. For a complete list of
