Wondered how everyone was getting on this week, and how this one rates on a scale of 1-10 for difficulty. I'm not asking for answers (just to get that clear!). My grid is about half full. Like the general theme and have identified just over half of the 13 clues (I think). Will get stuck soon, no doubt!

One of the "easier" ones I would say in that I've completed it in less than a day ! There are a couple of answers of which I am unsure though. Once you see the author's name then the quote becomes easier to identify ...but you do need a dictionary of quotations.
Good luck !
I agree with Ulysses - harder to start than to finish (if that makes sense).
Question Author
Have so far found it easier to start than to progress. Just because I know what to do with the clues does not mean I have the author or quote yet, which may or may not become clearer to me with perseverence! Oh well, 99% perspiration.
I lied about the quotation ...it is to be found in Chambers after all.
I found it slow starting ~ when is a definition NOT the right definition? Like all EVs it gets easier as it begins to unfold.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I found it about a 6.

Notice that your name has turned black. You are no longer a Tenderfoot! :o)
I'm in much the same position as Physicsgirl but haven't looked at again today yet.
Question Author
I wondered why my name was always green, Crofter!

Went for a walk, came back (long summer hols!) and looked again - think I have the author now. There are so many quotes by this person, deciding which will be an arduous task. Happy days.
Agree - getting started was the most difficult part. Once the theme became clear it was ( relatively ) plain-sailing. I'd rate 5 on difficulty scale.
I've not been able to give much time to it today, but have over half done. Haven't really looked for the author. Perhaps I should.
Sorry -- noticed you have author. If you've got Chambers start going through foreign words and phrases at the back. It won't take too long.
Went and looked and instantly spotted author. Hopefully can now spend some time on the puzzle without interruption.
