Quite a few people know that orchestra is an anagram of carthorse. Rather fewer have yet discovered that Manchester City is an anagram of synthetic cream. But it takes a crossword compiler of genius to discover that The Old Vicarage, Grantchester, yields the anagram: chaste Lord Archer vegetating.
John Graham is unquestionably the nation's best-known and best-loved crossword compiler. Using the pseudonym Araucaria, this retired clergyman from Cambridge has been delighting Guardian readers for over forty years.
This collection will both delight his established fans and newcomers to the puzzle.
