Bookish Jane right to be in Observer (4)
I believe the answer is:
eyre
'bookish jane' is the definition.
'eyre' can be an answer for 'jane' (fictional character Jane Eyre). I am unsure of the 'bookish' bit.
'right to be in observer' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'to be in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'observer' becomes 'eye' (organ which sees or observes).
'r' put inside 'eye' is 'EYRE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eyre that I've seen before include "C. Bronte's orphan Jane" , "See 8" , "Charlotte Bronte's Jane" , "Jane --, 1874 novel" , "one loved by Rochester" .)
