Much more of a literary nature this week ergo more enjoyable.
A couple of posers though.
Popular children flatter writer of unposted letters(8) *N*H*A** and
Tricky situation with cunning supplier of a staircase in Surrey(7) S*I*A**
Are these the non-literary ones!

Thank you and apologies. I had the i and the e the wrong way round in the clue intersecting.My third letter should have been an e. Would have made the task easier!
Tricky situation = stew, leaving art which I can't parse.
Question Author
Can cunning be a synonym for art. Ulysses uses something like that in Troilus and Cressida
I had thought of that but could not satisfy myself of it.
Question Author
If it's good enough for Shakespeare perhaps we ought to nod to it.
Accepted.
What about the Artful Dodger? Dickens rather than Shakespeare?

Art and cunning are synonyms.
Question Author
Happy with that. Shakespeare and Dickens...a veritable Pantheon for one clue.
Art = Cunning is in Chambers, so not necessarily old literary stuff!
Question Author
Didn't Shakespeare and Dickens get there first. Perhaps that is why it is in Chambers.
Question Author
Chambers 1867 so after OT and well after T and C.
