Got through OK now. 14ac is Biblical- not an anagram as I`d thought! M

Me again - last time. All done. I liked 4d -
could hardly believe that was the right answer! M.

Usual problems of my own making! Looking for a “sounds like” name of a travel writer (wrong!) instead of an anagram for a type of writer. Couldn’t see how black and white fitted in until I thought of THE piper. Looked for the name of a famous chess player (wrong!) Looked for the name of a male TV host (wrong!) Saw “number” as part of the anagram for 9dn (wrong!). But got there in the end!

14 ac is a biblical reference and it is an anagram!. 22 ac I found many poets with 5 letters that could mean “hit” I came up with one that could be a weight.

hi all
I am just about to start on the RT. I am part-caring for a dear friend who is not too well, so lots of distractions from crosswording. However, I have taken note of your hints (at the moment I have no idea what you are all on about !) See you later :) J

This is for mondrian, who I'm sure will drop in at some time.
I doubt if you looked at "Clue Chain" yesterday, but I set one that I was rather pleased with and you may like:
He painted minor works (4,8)

Having trouble with 14a.
I agree with Wally on his answer for 22a
(I had Burns, then Donne, now P****)
Down to the last four ...

Wally's (?) comment about the anagram might be just a little misleading - there is an anagram, but it just gives the last letter of the first word and all the second word. The first 5 letters of the first word come from somewhere else.

thanks chrise for the helpful extra hint on 14a which I have now found by googling.
Just two left now.

all done. 5d was the last to fall. Why is it always the short ones causing most trouble !
Back to my duties now.
