Listener 4849 - Peace At Last By Priest

An excellent puzzle to start the year. Despite the fiddly nature of finding the clues and all the other elements, an enjoyable solve.

We suspect that other solvers would have seen the literary link... ...

A pleasant enough entry level Listener where the only challenge was our utter lack of knowledge of the theme.

Well constructed but the clues were mostly too simple.

Thanks, Kea.
