help please?

Times literary supplement 945
One or two oddities. 9a is two words 4,5
25 after "young" should be the blank word rather than that odd printer's sign(?)
Last two ...help please Second half of 17 a and 22d I think may be a reference to John Connolly's books for children but if is the good doctor I offer apologies.

9a One or two oddities -that is the clue??

[highbury57]

no that's my comment on the crossword grid

I may be really thick but I don't understand what your question is.

[factor-fiction]

Nor me, but highbury has the answers now it seems - all is well that ends well

[boxtops]

highbury, you need to tell us the clues - most of us don't have this paper.

[highbury57]

You can get the grid online I believe

I answered your 22d on another site Highbury.

Thanks for the help mamyalynne. Hope I am not being dog in the manger on what is usually a friendly and fun exchange, but one or two of the comments seem a tad querulous.
