jQuery forward and back image slider

Hello,

I am having some trouble making a simple jquery image slider with two buttons to go forward and back through the images. The button to go forward is working fine, users can click the forward button and move forward through the images.

But the back button is not working as I need it, it seems to just be going forward or even skipping one slide.

Here is the code for the back button

javascript
$("#slideshow > div:gt(-1)").hide();

$(".Leftarrow").click(function(){
  $('#slideshow > div:first')
    .fadeOut(1000)
    .next()
    .fadeIn(1000)
    .end()
    .appendTo('#slideshow');
});

changing .next() to .prev() makes the image disappear once the back button is hit. changing div:gt(0) to div:gt(-1) seems to skip a slide or two.

Anyone have and idea on how to fix this? I just need the slides to go backwards from what ever slide its currently one.

Thank you
