Neatly constructed puzzle with plenty of guidance built in to get you to the theme, and find the features to be highlighted, although one of them is not too easy to find in Chambers. A lot easier than last weeks.
Thanks Agricola.

Kind of the editors to give us an easy one after last week's marathon. A neat puzzle which left no doubts at the end and the grid fill to endgame ration was just right. I'm not sure if there's any special significance to the placing of the six items; if there is I haven't found it. Not that it matters too much.
Everything Perseverer said. But surely there were more closely related features that could be used. There is a disconnect between the theme in the clues and the highlighted parts.
Gosh ... I was expecting the thread to be far busier than this. Is everyone on holiday?

The puzzle took a fraction of the time spent on last week's epic. I thought it was fair enough and no arguments about the endgame.

I am perhaps being dense but the second hint formed by the extra words doesn't seem to make any sense in relation to the theme. I wonder if I need to understand the rationale behind the setting of the work better?

Thanks, Agricola.
Emcee - I think the first word of the hint is critical!
Hi Philoctetes.

The extra word that was throwing me was **k**s -- I just don't understand what this has to do with the theme. Fortunately, the second hint isn't needed as it's clear what the highlighted words have to be.
Please excuse my stupidity. All sorted now.
Just as well this was so quick and easy as I still haven't cracked last week's.
Yes, entertaining puzzle without being too much of a challenge. Been away so hardly looked at 4565, which we won’t attempt as we only do puzzles we can submit and we don’t have time now to spend on it. Tough challenge by the look of it and well done to those who have cracked it.
I think I made heavy weather of working out just what the theme was - for me it was almost too much information (fault of mine, not of Agricola's, I hasten to add).

A goodly amount of thematic info secreted in the grid, and nice to have an excuse to revisit the source material. Thanks Agricola.
