Author who had a farm centre in a region of France (6)
I believe the answer is:
barrie
'author who' is the definition.
'barrie' can be an answer for 'author' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the rest of the definition.
'a farm centre in a region of france' is the wordplay.
'centre' means to look at the middle letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a region of france' becomes 'brie' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The centre of 'farm' is 'ar'.
'ar' inserted within 'brie' is 'BARRIE'.
'had' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for barrie that I've seen before include "J M ...... created Peter Pan" , "Children's writer" , "J. M. -, Peter Pan creator" , "Scottish playwright" , "Peter Pan's creator" .)
