I can't believe it! I actually got them all. Had to look a couple up in Run, Run, Rudolph and the dictionary, but I succeeded. However, I might argue that Beth is the smallest character in the story. 9 Across was the one I had to use the dictionary. I wasn't sure if I had the right word. Had to look up the Muslim Holiday one on the internet. Could someone please explain the Kanye West reference? Why him and not just anyone?

Thanks, Dave, for another great puzzle.

Good point about Beth - I'd forgotten about her.

I'll explain about Kanye West when everyone else has had a chance to do the crossword so I don't give away the answer.

For some reason I have no graphics in my news letter.
No crossword no book covers..... poor me
anyone else...... buller .......buller....buller

I also had a little trouble with the newsletter. Only half the crossword would show up. By reducing the size, I finally got it to show up on one page, but it made it small for filling in the words. The other graphics were fine.

I only have a couple of clues left to solve. Good job on the crossword, Dave. A few clues have been challenging!

I cannot see any images in the crossword either.

We're aware that there is a problem this time and we're working to try and fix it. We're not sure whether it's something we've done or whether it's the mail browsers not accepting the way we've put it together.

As soon as we're fixed this little gremlin we'll mail it out again.

Sorry for all the inconvenience - I can assure you our computer monkey will be deprived of peanuts as a punishment.
