TheTale of the Original Jekyll and Hyde

THE TALE OF THE ORIGINAL JEKYLL AND HYDE (TOLD BY A MAD HATTER FROM STOCKPORT)

Deacon Brodie isn’t that well known out of Edinburgh. Yet he inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write Jekyll and Hyde. Similarly, Stanley isn’t that well known outside of Stockport. Yet he’s campaigned with Napoleon AND been up Everest with Mallory. Maybe. Perhaps. By day, in the 18th Century, Deacon Brodie was a respectable cabinetmaker and councillor. Whereas by night, he was a masked burglar in Edinburgh’s Old Town.

Somehow, Stanley gets roped into his escapades. And he could flipping well swing for it. In public!
