Monday Prize Crossword / May 1, 2017

It doesn’t happen very often that we see a Dante on two consecutive Mondays.
Guardian readers are used to have one Rufus after the other, FT customers usually get only half the amount.

Prize puzzle from the Weekend FT of April 29, 2017 I found this a slightly difficult puzzle, especially in the top-left corner. My clue of the week is 18a (SERENADE) which may qualify … Read more >>

A real toughie from Bradman this Friday. Had to seek online aid for 2 clues and confirmations for a couple of others. Thanks Don, for a strenuous workout.
