I have solved the clues but am struggling with the 'quotation'. As quotation is in inverted commas I suspect I am looking for a shape represented by the 13 letters...i.e a word or words relevant to the theme, which I have. Could someone confirm that I am on the right lines, please.

A run of unchecked letters will help you.

I should have added that the author is 13 letters!

I think i have the beginning to the quote but still need a lot more help. I have six continuous unchecked letters with perhaps another "two" following, but then I am lost completely. I shall be delighted with more tips please

If you google the 6 letters you have together with the theme you should get the quotation and the author.
Good luck

Thank you Tony for your hint . Unfortunately I still cannot get it. Is my 6 continuous letters (made up of two words)not correct perhaps? Maybe I am looking in the wrong place. Sorry I'm so thick this week , but I would like to complete this puzzle since I have completed the grid fully. It really is a stinkhorn!!

Hello Tony - I share Shannie's frustration as I think i am looking at the same string of letters and I even think I know the author judging by the theme but I cannot get the quote at all! If the observation is "cryptically described" in the grid is this the bit we are missing? Thanks

Thanks for the hints, have finally got it! I was googling the name of the puzzle rather than the theme and got on the wrong track.

I have finished the puzzle and have the author and 'quotation'.
However I am unsure of the word-play for 1A.
The first three letters are explained by cooker
but how is the 'ric' arrived at.
Any explanation will be gratefully received.
