Just too good cologne!

Peter the Great also trashed the place he had in Deptford - there is a Czar Walk or Road or something to commemorate his visit! He also worked in the shipyards in both Holland and London. Not only did he live in St Petersburg - he actually founded the place on a marsh - much to the disgust of the Russian nobility based in Moscow.

Over to you.
Cheers Vic. he seems to have been a bit of a character in one way or another. Ok. Still on a literary theme. Which novel was originally titled 'All that is contained in a bottle of ink', because the novel took exactly a bottle to write from beginning to end.?
 
There are any number of older short novels, so I'll take a couple of guesses:

Mary Shelley...'Frankenstein'
Robert Louis Stevenson...'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' (supposedly written under the influence of stimulants of some sort!)
Not there yet Theo. Actually, my copy has 493 pages, so middle length.....maybe the ink bottles were bigger then. I do not like the English title to this novel because the emphasis of it is wrong, in another language the title is better.
