But did know Mallarme, malison, and Escher’s nationality. I promise you’ll see brassie again!

ALISON was the last I understood also. I found CRANNY quite tricky too before getting it right – the wordplay didn’t follow the natural order of words which misled me. Totally fair, though.

For 7D I also had all of the checking letters so filled in ALISON without really bothering to work why – thanks for explaining it.
