Rendering of a perfect theme in pastoral scene (4,9)
I believe the answer is:
fete champetre
'pastoral scene' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'rendering of a perfect theme' is the wordplay.
'a perfect theme' anagrams to 'FETE CHAMPETRE'.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fete champetre that I've seen before include "Garden party" , "Outdoor entertainment" .)
