A nourishing literary breakfast this morning Pentman! My thing, so I found myself guessing before parsing a few of them- but enjoyed the retrofit afterwards. Top picks were 14a, 15a, 22a! 27a, 1d, 6d, & 21d. I’m thinking it won’t be long before an archaic indicator is required for the likes of 13a! Many thanks for a lovely puzzle!

Nice puzzle as always, Pentman. The theme is really fully developed and favourite clues for me include 15a, 22a (lol), 1d, 10d (the "through" is OK to me) and 23d (obscure but fun). Thanks!

Thanks Pentman for a 'well-versed' crossword with my favourites being 15a, 1d, 17d, and 19d. I found this quite approachable overall. My only guess was 22a since I wasn't familiar with Leonardo and Donatello. Nice job avoiding obscurities with so many thematic clues.

Excellently well packed! LOI, 22a, was a groaner in the best way (I knew where you going, I just took a while to follow). Others that stood out: 12a,15a, 25a and 2d, 5d/16d, 21d

Many thanks Penman. Just catching up. This was a nice Sunday afternoon solve, and a nicely constructed grid. Loved 25a, and the nice surface concealing 15a especially.
