Do we hear a song writer for children? (7)
I believe the answer is:
carroll
'writer for children?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'do we hear a song' is the wordplay.
'do we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'a song' becomes 'carol' (carol is a kind of song).
'carol' is a homophone of 'CARROLL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for carroll that I've seen before include "Lewis - - , 28 creator" , "See 17" , "writer of fiction !" , "Pen name of Dodgson" , "Lewis -, Alice creator" .)
