Oh, goodness, how did I miss the perimetrical nina? That, of course, elevates this from pleasant to excellent. Chapeau, indeed, Orense – and well spotted, Conrad.

Many thanks Ringo for the analysis and to Conrad Cork et al for comments. Regret can’t make S&B for Anax’s 50th tomorrow, so that drink another time…

I confess myself amazed that no-one else has joined me on the accolades for this rather special puzzle.

The perimeter reads ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’.

Orense, I’ll buy you a drink at the next Sloggers and Betters.

Ringo, and a beautiful sunny spring morning here in Sydney. I obviously made the same mistake re 24A – it’s funny how the mind perceives how a word is spelt

sorry meant ‘top left’.

Check the nina. Read the perimeter from to left. Chapeau! (Sorry Orense, don’t know the Portuguese.)

This delightful puzzle is the best I can remember from Orense.

Thanks Ringo. Small detail – this is puzzle 14,102 not 14,012.
