Simple job to enquire after Yeats edition (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
easy task
'simple job' is the definition.
(I know that easy task is a type of simple job)
'enquire after yeats edition' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'enquire' could be 'ask' (to enquire is to ask or question) and 'ask' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'yeats' is 'easyt' which is within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for easy task that I've seen is " piece of cake".)
