An Enid Blyton character would appear strange in New York (5)
I believe the answer is:
noddy
'an enid blyton character' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'strange in new york' is the wordplay.
'strange' becomes 'odd' (I've seen this before).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'new york' becomes 'ny'.
'odd' inserted inside 'ny' is 'NODDY'.
'would appear' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for noddy that I've seen before include "Nineteen [TWIT]" , "Toytown character" , "Big Ears' friend" , "Little Blyton creation" , "childish character" .)
