Islander whose work was done by Friday (8,6)
I believe the answer is:
robinson crusoe
'friday' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for robinson crusoe that I've seen before include "As hero of book" , "Novel castaway" , "classic book" , "Fictional castaway" , "Defoe's castaway" .)
