Story originally read during specific game at Hampstead location? (3,7,2,3,6)
I believe the answer is:
the cricket on the hearth
'story originally read during' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'specific game at hampstead location?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'specific' could be 'the' ('the' is used to refer to a specific item) and 'the' is located in the answer.
'game' could be 'cricket' (cricket is a kind of game) and 'cricket' is present in the answer.
'at' could be 'on' (location) and 'on' is found in the answer.
'location?' could be 'heart' (heart is a kind of location) and 'heart' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
