App Description

The father of all good versus evil tales has transformed once again! This Vook edition of “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” combines the classic story with rare video, delivering a unique and interactive experience. Download now and as you read, watch the classic silent film from 1920, starring Hollywood legend, John Barrymore.

While the film focuses on Jekyll-Hyde's perspective, the book is told from the perspective of a London lawyer and friend of Jekyll, Gabriel Utterson. Throughout the book, Utterson investigates this strange case of split personalities. Oddly enough, in most screen and stage adaptations of the book Utterson is completely omitted, removing any question of Hyde's true identity.

This application has been designed specifically for the iPad to take advantage of its advanced capabilities and large Multi-Touch screen. New functionality allows you to read and watch in full screen with full color video and original illustrations from this story. Rotate the screen between portrait and landscape view, and even email quotes and notes from within the Vook.
