Hope

Glad to see soemone else does the TLS, I don't see too many TLS threads here !
is the other one Hope. Anthony Hope is a best selling author

I had thought of Hope, but I'm afraid I still don't see how the clue gets us there! The only barrister's dream i can think of is in The Hunting of the Snark, where they pursue the Snark with Hope, but the barrister doesn't dream about it...
I think there is a cryptic hint i.e. dream = hope and he was a barrister. Good enough for me!
Question Author
Thanks, Rapparee. I think I committed the cardinal sin of getting stuck in a thought-rut (the Snark), and didn't read enough of the Wikipedia entry on Hope!
Can you offer any help on my last one, please?

Looks good to me. Many thanks for your help.
Question Author
There certainly seems to be a more direct connection there. Pity I've posted my solution!
