I
think this may be the hardest Jumbo we've had for a while - well I
certainly found it testing, taking about twice my usual time of 45
minutes as I struggled with some of the intricate wordplay and more than
the usual smattering of words I was unfamiliar with. But that made it
all the more satisfying to complete. Some cracking clues, with plenty of
wit and cleverness, I particularly enjoyed 13A, 27A, 7D, 9D and, when I
finally parsed it, my COD - 38D. LOI was 29A which seemed to be
visiting from Mephistoland. Indeed it is to be found in the Mephisto of 29th July last year. Great stuff. Thanks setter! So, how did everyone else get on with this little big teaser?
