Strangely, he dreamt that he drank with a dormouse (3,3,6)
I believe the answer is:
the mad hatter
'he drank with a dormouse' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'strangely he dreamt that' is the wordplay.
'strangely' indicates anagramming the letters.
'he'+'dreamt'+'that'='hedreamtthat'
'hedreamtthat' anagrammed gives 'THE MAD HATTER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for the mad hatter that I've seen is " party member".)
I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
