Kitob haqida
A level 4 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Retold for Learners of English by Rosemary Border.
You are walking through the streets of London. It is getting dark and you want to get home quickly. You enter a narrow side-street. Everything is quiet, but as you pass the door of a large, windowless building, you hear a key turning in the lock. A man comes out and looks at you. You have never seen him before, but you realize immediately that he hates you. You are shocked to discover, also, that you hate him.
Who is this man that everybody hates? And why is he coming out of the laboratory of the very respectable Dr Jekyll?

The door had neither bell nor knocker and looked dusty and uncared for. Dirty children played fearlessly on the doorstep, and nobody ever opened the door to drive them away. One day, as Mr Enfield and his friend passed the building, Mr Enfield pointed to it. ‘Have you ever noticed that place?’ he asked. ‘It reminds me of a very strange story.’ ‘Really?’ said Mr Utterson. ‘Tell me.’
