[fiction-factory]

I saw another answer for 4d but that didn't have an N in it.

[Calibax]

17 Elf-like?

[fiction-factory]

Where was the N from in 4d please?

16a poles

[cashier]

16 Poles?

[fiction-factory]

elf like is probably right then.
Seen as man size and out size too, but the f seems to clinch it for elf like

[Neveracrossword]

I think 5 D was answered as Barometer.

[fiction-factory]

where wa sthe W from in 5d please. Seen a couple of times as a not very satisfactory barometer

[Mamyalynne]

4d Ewe

[scooke]

11a chiller movie or christmas story? yet bi must give a clue(3,7) was answered as the unknown, so give 4d ?n? and 5d as ?w?o?e???

[fiction-factory]

I can't immediately see a case for the unknown - what was the pattern and reasoning please?

[Neveracrossword]

Is this a Jumbo crossword? There certainly seems to be a few rather odd clues!

11a the snowman

[fiction-factory]

The Snowman fits the clue perfectly. So EWE will be right (although i don't really understand the clue).
Did anyone settle on which of the 2 answers to the Mush mush clue was right?

[Mamyalynne]

Rudolf seems favourite

[fiction-factory]

I prefered Rudolf (assume the mush mush refered to the slushy snow rather than an urban dictionary definition)

58d answer rudolf

[fiction-factory]

Thanks.

the unknown was a horror movie, and being unknown it would necessitate a clue. But no, don't see a Christmas story link.

I didn't see the clue, but that's the phrase to urge on huskies (or reindeer pulling a sleigh...)
