Sunray, the word means a kindly tenant in Scotland. A tall story is hard to believe.

43 is an anagram of lords-and-ladies with the letters of road missing.

Def is 'kindly tenant'.

Letter meaning 'base' in two letter abb for navy+ a word meaning harder to believe. (As some tales are.)

Def is kindly tenant.
Letter meaning 'base' inside 2 letter abb for navy = word meaning harder to believe. ( As some tales are.)

bunty,

I have aslan for 8d. Asla is hidden and N missing.
But Chambers does not show Aslan.

Your 17a s correct.

28a, I cannot parse it.
I have STE? for 1d.

Bunty,
1d def is arm - as in gun.
8d. Think CS Lewis.
17a. Your E is wrong. Think who wrote famous Epistles.
