Biographical note
Robert Mighall was the editor of the Penguin Classics series (1997-2000), and before that a fellow in English at Merton College Oxford. He is currently a senior consultant and writer at a London design and branding agency, occasional journalist and inveterate sun-worshiper. He is the author of A Geography of Victorian Gothic Fiction (OUP, 1999), and has introduced and edited the Penguin Classics editions of The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde. He lives in London, but wishes it was somewhere further South.'The perfect beach book'

The Sunday Times
'With verve and vigour ... quirky, chatty and informative'
