Flashback Friday!

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
By Jeffrey Hatcher
From the novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
Produced in 2025
Photos by: Natasha O’Hara

On the fog-bound streets of Victorian-era London, Henry Jekyll’s experiments with exotic “powders and tinctures” have brought forth his other self – Edward Hyde, a sensualist and villain free to commit the sins Jekyll is too civilized to comprehend. When Hyde meets a woman who stirs his interest, Jekyll fears for her life and decides to end his experiments. But Hyde has other ideas, and so the two sides battle each other in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse to determine who shall be the master and who his slave.

Happy Birthday Christopher Robin!

Today, August 21, 2026 would be Christopher Robin Milne’s 106th Birthday.

Christopher Robin was born August 21, 1920. He would be gifted the stuffed bear (originally called Edward Bear) that would inspire Winnie-the-Pooh on his first birthday in 1921.

A.A. Milne bought the bear at Harrods department store in London. Christopher later changed the name of the stuffed bear to Winnie after a Canadian black bear in the London Zoo named Winnie, short of Winnipeg whom he loved to visit. Pooh was the name of a friend’s pet swan whom Christopher liked to feed. Soon the stuffed bear was named Winnie-the-Pooh and would become the beloved character we know today in the works of Christophers father A. A. Milne.
