Ah! After your comment I was keeping an eye out for a grid! Some really tricky ones here, I fear my Geography and Literature rounds are a bit weak in the pub quiz for this one and I'll admit to looking a couple facts up to check. Favourites 1d 11a 7a (very satisfying when it fell into place) and 13a (very drole!). Is the extra ? In 20d because "Attila?" Is dbe? Personally I don't think it needs both. Also very creative 22d, but also very tricky :) thanks for the puzzle!

Very tricky indeed ! Afraid my study of Blake was too long ago and too superficial to make his idea appear early. I especially liked 13a,23a,3d,14d

Very clever grid, Sisyphus, and some pretty chewy clues. One or two had to go in unparsed. The Nina helped at the finish. Favourites were 13a and 26a. Thanks. (More in reply)

Another great, puzzle, Sisyphus, although it was pretty difficult, and I didn't spot the nina. Among my favourites were 7a, 13a (COTD), 9d and 7d (nice spot!).

Thanks Sisyphus. I found that challenging but somehow I solved nearly all of it with a bit of help from the Nina. My top picks were 13a, 25a, 1d, 9d, and 17d. More in reply
