Where crumbs may be taken from book in story of a sentence? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
bird table
'where crumbs may be taken from book in story' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'sentence?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'sentence?' could be 'bird' (slang term for a prison sentence) and 'bird' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'table' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'of a' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bird table that I've seen before include "provision for inflight catering?" , "Garden platform" , "Surface off which our feathered friends dine" , "garden item" , "Garden feeder" .)
