Cannibal Hannibal's new reading stand? (7)
I believe the answer is:
lectern
'reading stand?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'cannibal hannibal's new' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'new' could be 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament) and 'n' is present in the answer.
'hannibal' could be 'lecter' and 'lecter' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lectern that I've seen before include "stand in church" , "Desk for a standing reader" , "From which speaker delivers" , "Orator's stand" , "Slanted stand for a book" .)
