Subordinate to exploit timber work by Thomas (5,4,4)
I believe the answer is:
under milk wood
'work by thomas' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'subordinate to exploit timber' is the wordplay.
'subordinate to' becomes 'under' (I've seen this in another clue).
'exploit' becomes 'milk' (to milk something is to exploit its potential).
'timber' becomes 'wood' (I've seen this before).
'under'+'milk'+'wood'='UNDER MILK WOOD'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for under milk wood that I've seen before include "Welsh play" , "Radio play by Dylan Thomas" , "Radio poem by Dylan Thomas" , "Fail fully to exploit deal" , "Work by Dylan Thomas" .)
