A delightful puzzle that is typical of this setter. Not too difficult but always entertaining - a characteristic that is often overlooked. Thanks Hedge-sparrow
There's a clue in this puzzle by Phi which nobody on Fifteen Squared has managed to explain satisfactorily. Abandon something implied in 14? (4,4) The answer to 14 is SWAN LAKE and the answer to this...

Well that was a nice straightforward puzzle this week. I particularly liked the clueing this time round - my favourite being 20 across. Some of the misprints were very well hidden too. Thanks Little...
