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.
