Outlaw a lad disturbed in a country road (4-1-4)
I believe the answer is:
alan-a-dale
'disturbed in a country road' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'outlaw a lad' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'lad' is 'dal' which is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'alae' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for alan-a-dale that I've seen is " One of Robin Hood's Merry Men".)
