I thought this was probably the easiest Schadenfreude puzzle I have ever done. Very enjoyable none the less. Like Hihoba, it was England or English that was the key to unlocking the quotation and then Spring, Summar and Autumn fell very quickly.

Enjoyed this one – didn’t find it too hard at all, though was perhaps greatly helped by the quotation having appeared as a (very) long anagram in a Quixote puzzle a few weeks previous.

I first came across the quotation in Aug 1975. It was in Azed 178, a Letters Latent competition puzzle, word to be clued A(U)G(U)ST.

Since I was flying to Shanghai the day after this puzzle came out, I thought I’d leave it for the long journey – with no dictionary & no Google. Having settled into my seat, I started solving what turned out to be a remarkably easy puzzle, and finished (apart from I_AT at 6d) just as we were preparing for a slightly delayed take-off … somewhat disappointed, as we still had 11 hours to go!
