Robyn has brought us a fine toughie today with a slightly unbalanced 16a and 13d clues and I have hinted halfish
I liked 14d as he fits into one of my four c’s (crosswords, coffee, cheese and cycling) I was fooled by his claims of innocence myself but still admire his chutzpah
I will take Mama Bee out for a scone and coffee but will return later if you need any extra nudges
Here we go…

BD Rating – Difficulty *** – Enjoyment *****
I found myself appreciating this puzzle even more as I prepared the hints – there are references to three classic books, and a nursery rhyme. While not trivially easy, this is a well constructed puzzle which is well worth the effort taken to solve. Don’t forget the highlighted items give supplementary information and, usually, the answer.
