Little Lotte thought of everything and nothing. Her hair was golden as the sun's rays and her soul as clear and blue as her eyes.

Yeah - you're right about Jekyll and Hyde.
3 The Power and The Glory.
Have you missed a 't' out of number 6, ie- In the beginning was the word.?
Er, yeah. Sorry.
Wouldn't it be intriguing if I'd said 'no', and you had to find a completely different answer?

Scroll down a bit for the update. Only three or four left, which are (to give further clues) an Irish play referring to an exotic bird, a London novel in which many real people appear, a novel that moves from London to Tahiti via Paris and a children's book with culinary associations.
takethemick is on a roll.

4 The Moon and Sixpence.
5 Juno and The Paycock.
7. Green Eggs & Ham (thanks to the clue...)
The last one - DL&TLG - is set in the Victorian era: a music-hall star appears in the title, as does a district of London and a kind of zombie. I think that the book might have been given a different title in America - for which I apologise.
