Eg, Leicester's novel record? (5)
I believe the answer is:
sheep
'eg leicester's' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'novel record?' is the wordplay.
'novel' becomes 'she' (novel by H Rider Haggard).
'record?' becomes 'EP' (abbreviation for extended play record).
'she'+'ep'='SHEEP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sheep that I've seen before include "Members of congregation" , "Woolly quadruped" , "Ewe" , "feature of 21/23 [NATIVITY SCENE]" , "(Meek) member of a flock?" .)
