Notes
As this was a Saturday "Prize Puzzle" in Britain, there are two entries related to it on Big Dave's Crossword Blog — the first, posted on the date of publication, contains hints for selected clues while the second is a full review issued following the entry deadline for the contest. The vast majority of reader comments will generally be found attached to the "hints" posting with a minimal number — if any — accompanying the full review.

Introduction

I am currently taking a brief break from producing the blog on a daily basis while I visit some close family members whom I have not seen in two years. I will be posting an abbreviated "Vacation Edition" of the blog containing the normal "tombstone" data concerning the puzzle. These posts were prepared in advance and presume that the National Post does not deviate from its expected publication schedule.

Signing off for today — Falcon
