Sort of goblin taking part in fiction? (6)
I believe the answer is:
hobbit
'sort' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'goblin taking part in fiction?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'goblin' could be 'hob' (synonyms) and 'hob' is present in the answer.
'part' could be 'bit' (both mean a piece of something) and 'bit' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hobbit that I've seen before include "Tolkien's hairy-footed creature" , "Tolkien creature" , "Tolkien's hole-dweller" , "Bilbo Baggins, for one" , "Tolkien's character" .)
