I agree Marydom, I didn't enjoy this at all.

One still puzzles me....

12a. Forbidding hosts English verse to read (6) - DEVOUR would fit the parsing but the definition is more puzzling. It looks like:-

Forbidding = DOUR + E(nglish) + V(erse)

but I can't find any online thesaurus that gives 'Read' and 'Devour' as synonyms.

Sorry, I meant to ask what is it I'm missing?

One google online meaning

read quickly and eagerly

...and my children always devoured the Harry Potter books as soon as they came out!

Chambers gives a definition of 'devour' as 'to take in eagerly by the senses or mind' so 'read' seems ok.
