After hesitation, married couple maybe taking ages outside fabulous land (7)
I believe the answer is:
erewhon
'outside fabulous land' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'after hesitation married couple maybe taking ages' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'hesitation' could be 'er' (sound used when hesitating) and 'er' is found in the answer.
'taking' could be 'on' (eg one taking drugs is 'on' drugs) and 'on' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for erewhon that I've seen before include "Samuel Butler's utopia" , "Book by Samuel Butler" , "Satirical novel" , "Famous novel by Samuel Butler - nowhere to be found" , "Butler's work" .)
