Yes, not too bad today - doc certainly likes his Brewer - luckily the 18th edition sufficed today!
I have the 19th edition of Brewers - very helpful, but ... 11 A has defeated me; I believe that I have the correct intersecting letters yet I cannot find any name listed that fits the (?) two words.
HINTS please.
I googled that one after finding it using universal crossword solver -it's the 2 word one - it is in Brewer too
Roslyn,
I'd take my hat off to you - if I had one. Many thanks
Doc is starting to overdo user-friendliness. I think my 4 year old granddaughter could have done this one.
Having just enjoyed and completed Doc's latest speccie, it was comforting to know that I was on a par with bwillis's 4 year old granddaughter.
Let's hope Doc loses his copy of Brewer soon. Mine does not list 18A. Any hints of where to find it?
I found a few at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mythological_dogs

I did not find many in Brewers (19th). 12D or 39A or 45A are not in Brewers.

I do not have 1D, 12D, 18A, 20D, 26A and 37D.
A lot of work but hope to get them eventually.
I am sorry. I was looking up each dog individually. I found a page with list of dogs in Brewers.
I have all but two.
1D seems to the name of a famous Roman. Also known as the Invader of the Larder.
That leaves one.
18A is still a mystery.
Hankir, I have the 19th edition and 18 A IS there.
Thanks Neveracrossword.
I should read the names more carefully.
After a while the eyes start to skip things. Time for a short nap.

Helveticus: Here is a hint. A rodent in a Kipling book.
Glad your reading has improved, Hankir!
Thanks for the hint, Hankir. Unfortunately it was not enough (though there is a rodent within the light). It is dashed annoying to have everything except 18A. Could someone else give me a nudge and put me out of my misery?
It is a pity that Doc is the crossword editor of the Spectator, as a different editor might be able to talk him out of setting puzzles whose clues are easy to solve, but which cannot be completed unless one has a specific edition of a printed book.
The penny just dropped. Thanks Hankir.
Last one.26a) Can't find it in Brewer's.any help?Thanks
26 IS in my Brewer's, the 19th edition. Do you have an earlier version?
jadzia49:

A stooge with artist.
I think I have got it, but can't find that spelling of it anywhere! Thanks
I know this is pretty weak but I have all the theme words, lucky to have Brewers because I certainly didn't know many (other than20d bizarrely), but I can't do just 2 final clues.

23dn A?O? Certainly not a theme word - though just a bit? (4)
25ac ?E?T? Witness support right away (5)

Any help would be appreciated....
