The Guardian is going to study the literate (4,4). I had WELL READ, but think the second clue actually starts with T. Can anyone get my answers straight?!
Thank you. So 16d - Golden Bough's ending first has tree turned to ice-nearly awful (8) - isn't ESOTERIC ..... darn, though I'd cracked Araucaria's grand theme! Can someone give me a hint please?
