Orson .....use scary with en inside .... that is then the obsolete word . K is extra

I thought of that, bunty, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I now see it's listed under scenario in Chambers and not scene or scenery. Thanks.

Orson I have a 5 letter word for young man less the "I" and the definition is a bird. This fits with all my other answers

Orson, you are right with 'scary'. It's the whole 7 letter word that's obsolete.

Thanks, qesue. I've got it right now!

I have just the K from Ken as obsolete which helps with the words from additional letters

quese, for 5 across do you mean minus 'i'?

I have all the answers except for 16a although have not written in the 4 consecutive jumbled ones. I also have all the extra letters removed from clues but cannot work out the unclued entries or the books, please can anyone help. Thanks

Nelson yes I do mean the "i"

Thanks!
