Produce books devoured by grumpy old woman (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
trot out
'produce' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'books devoured by grumpy old woman' is the wordplay.
'books' becomes 'ot' (Old Testament).
'devoured by' is an insertion indicator.
'grumpy old woman' becomes 'trout' (I've seen this before).
'ot' going inside 'trout' is 'TROT OUT'.
(Other definitions for trot out that I've seen before include "Repeat without thought" , "Produce (a well-worn account)" , "Produce for show (repeatedly)" .)
