Ev 1151: Contest By Kcit

Hello All, I must admit to initially being rather daunted by the grid format, and I didn't find too many "gifts" on the first pass though the clues. Really had to work the clues, but to be honest they...

Ev - Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1147: Sets Out By Ferret

I'll start the ball rolling on this rather fun one with a theme that's a personal favourite of mine. Some very cunning clues and, perhaps, a poignant end game. Wonder if this might have been a shade...
