Books with greeting in Shakespeare play (7)
I believe the answer is:
othello
'shakespeare play' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'books with greeting' is the wordplay.
'books' becomes 'OT' (abbreviation for Old Testament).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'greeting' becomes 'hello' (hello is a kind of greeting).
'ot'+'hello'='OTHELLO'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for othello that I've seen before include "board game" , "Shakespeare's general" , "He murdered his wife Desdemona" , "Desdemona's husband" , "Shakespearean Moor" .)
