Looks like HOS-TELLERS but I don't get the book=HOS part.

ENSA was the troops-entertaining organisation in WWII.

What's the clue for 52d please?

[Baldric]

wasn't ENSA known as "Every Night Something Awful?"

[Oldred]

If I remember correctly 52d is 'ossa'

[chelle7272]

possibly Hos. is the Book of Hosea, in the Bible?

Ah, so Hos is nothing to do with this then.
