Guardian 24,665 (Sat 4 Apr)/Araucaria – Price tags
Posted by rightback on 11th April 2009
Solving time: 13:50
This week a mini-theme of prices, of admiralty, liberty and blood, as quoted by various literary sources, as well as several biblical references (e.g. 8/7dn, 18dn, 19dn) possibly giving a nod to Easter. I enjoyed this more than usual for Araucaria, there are some good clues with decent surface readings. I didn’t fully understand ALICIA, ARRIVAL, EYELET, LIBERTY or SARGENT until after solving.
