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 taking a break from producing a full review on a daily basis to relax at the lake where I am both off grid and offline. For the time being, I will be posting an abbreviated "Vacation Edition" of the blog containing the usual "tombstone" data relating to the puzzle. These posts are prepared in advance  and assume that the National Post does not deviate from its expected publication schedule.


Signing off for today — Falcon
