Born of a dream? No. Of a nightmare, of course.\u201d Stevenson apparently took ill in Bournemoth, England, cried out in his sleep, remarked, \u201cI dreamed a fine bogey tale,\u201d and proceeded to write out the book in three days. Once published, the book gained much prestige as a seminal \u201cpsychological thriller\u201d that explored the many contradictions and convergent identities within human nature.<\/p>\n<p>Collins Library\u2019s Shelmidine Room houses a 1952 rare edition of <i>Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde<\/i>, which was first published in 1886. Bound in a marbled paper hard cover, the writing in this edition is punctuated by charcoal illustrations highlighting some of the more gruesome or odd moments in the book. One, towards the beginning of the story, shows Mr. Hyde trampling a young girl, the first public showing of his evil nature. The illustrations beautifully transition between the different moods and events of the book.
