Wonderful puzzle! Very much enjoyed it. Faves: 10a, 27a is definitely COTD, 3d (ha ha), 8d and many others. Had to reveal 4d. Nho 13a but that's on me. Thanks so much. You are so creative.
This was fun! Not too hard with some clever and pleasing surfaces. Ticks for 1a, 26a, 27a, 8d and 16d. I found 9a, 15a, 24a and 23a a bit open-ended with their synonyms/allusions but I got there in the end. Thanks!
Thanks Ruskin. This was a mixed bag for me. I very much enjoyed clues like 12a, 3d, 6d, 8d, 17d, and 24d but I eventually revealed 9a, 24a, 1d, 7d, and 16d because either the definition or the wordplay was beyond my ken. More in reply.
