If there is a theme in this puzzle, I can’t spot it. The puzzle is not a pangram. This was simply a soundly constructed crossword with only a couple of words or phrases that I don’t come across on a regular basis.

To me this is absolutely classic Araucaria – an alphabetical jigsaw with great clues cutting a swathe through general knowlegde, and taking some Araucarian liberties in the process. Not an easy solve but a very satisfying one. A real pleasure to solve and blog, thank you Araucaria.
