Cut heart of English character Kipling wrote about (6)
I believe the answer is:
mowgli
'character kipling wrote about' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'cut heart of english' is the wordplay.
'cut' becomes 'mow' (as in mowing a lawn).
'heart of' means to look at the middle letters.
The middle of 'english' is 'gli'.
'mow'+'gli'='MOWGLI'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mowgli that I've seen before include "Kipling character" , "boy reared by wolves" , "The Jungle Book hero" , "Jungle Book 'man-cub'" , "Jungle Book boy (Kipling)" .)
