newborn

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'young child' is the definition.
'newborn' can be an answer for 'child' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'young' bit.

'generated renown penning book' is the wordplay.
'generated' indicates an anagram.
'penning' indicates putting letters inside.
'book' becomes 'b' (abbreviation for book).
'renown' is an anagram of 'neworn'.
'neworn' enclosing 'b' is 'NEWBORN'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for newborn that I've seen before include "Recently given birth to" , "Neonate" , "Recently delivered" , "Just entered the world" , "Young baby" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
