Azed’s change to appearing only monthly and the vagaries of the schedule mean that I haven’t blogged one of his puzzles since January, so I feel rather out of practice. Quite a lot of unfamiliar in this one, I thought, but all fairly clued as ever, though there seems to be an error in 9 down, unless I’m misunderstanding (quite possible, of course). Thanks to Azed.

The puzzle may be found at https://observer.co.uk/puzzles/everyman/article/everyman-no-4163 (which seems to be no longer behind a paywall – or is it just that a cookie has expired? -; also the interactive presentation is marginally improved but still poor) or as a pdf at htpps://tinyurl.com/Everyman4163.
