Strange tales about a son in country albums (7)
I believe the answer is:
atlases
'country albums' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'strange tales about a son' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates an anagram.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'son' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son).
'tales' is an anagram of 'tlase'.
'a'+'s'='as'
'tlase' placed within 'as' is 'ATLASES'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for atlases that I've seen before include "Books of maps" , "Collected charts" , "navigation aids" , "Book of maps" , "Sea salt (anag.)" .)
