The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (the original novella) read by Tom Baker
Host: Mediafire.com
If you are a fan of both Dr. Jekyll and Doctor Who, you can scratch two itches at once by sitting back and relaxing to Tom Baker's reading of the original Novella. You will need the program "Winrar" in order to open the file.


Radio performance of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (April 24, 2009)
Host: Archive.org
LebriVox's radio performance of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, in 10 parts.
Comments: The audio is very clear and the woman reading is easy to hear, but she speaks in monotone, taking away from the inherent drama of the story.


Old Time Radio's performance of the Betty Roland adaptation
Host: Archive.org
A radio performance of Betty Roland's adaptation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, from 1932, in 10 parts.
Comments: A rather different retelling, in that it follows Jekyll's full life, from childhood on up, and instead of falling for Carew’s daughter, he falls for Utterson’s. It’s very focused on the drama and romance.


Audio Reading of "Jikiru Hakase to Haido-shi no Kai Jiken"
Host: Voiceblog.com
Chapters 1 through 3
Chapters 4 through 23
The audio recording of the Japanese Translation of the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, split into its separate chapters.
Comments: An interesting and good quality reading. Again, if you want to sharpen your Japanese while also getting your daily dose of Jekyll and Hyde, this is a good way to do it.


Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Classic Readers Level 3
Host: avaxhome.ws
The audio book version of Pieter Koster's abridged version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Comments: For kids, not the most unique version, but alright.

  1. Thank you for the link to Tom Baker's reading of Jekyll and Hyde. I had the orignal tape recording which was worn out long ago. It's a particular favourite.
