Great Eastern Land: From the Notebooks of David Castell: A Novel. \nD. J. Taylor. \nPublished by David & Charles (1986) London. First Edition hardcover in the publisher's brown boards, titled in gilt to the spine. Book clean and tight, though the leaves are lightly toned. Jacket clipped with price sticker to the flap. Overall condition is Vg. \nBetween walking by the river and imbibing tasteless liquor at Dr Feelgood's, a mice-infested emporium presided over by the dubious Mousookseem, David Castell is compiling his Notebooks. Though thwarted by Caro, who runs the house, buys the ink, and sullenly disapproves of his master's activities, David perseveres, believing the past to be 'an infinitely more agreeable subject for speculation than the future'.\nDavid's notebooks glide between past and present, juxtaposing a number of settings: Oxford, where drunken eccentrics try to steer clear of sinister dons; East Anglia, where myth and legend are flourishing betwey
