Grid 12×12 barred grid with 180° symmetry. There is a space to be completed under the grid.
Preamble An unchecked letter in each of twelve answers is not indicated in its wordplay. Each of these letters has been appropriated by another clue, from which it needs to be removed before solving. The twelve letters can be rearranged to spell the title of a work (three words) which solvers must write beneath the grid. This work, whose creator makes an appearance elsewhere, should help to explain the treatment required by five other pairs of
answers before entry into the grid. Half the treated entries are not real words. Numbers in brackets refer to the lengths of grid entries.
