Writer making one afraid of Christmas? (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
noel coward
'writer' is the definition.
'one afraid of christmas?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'one' is 'noe' which is located in the answer.
'afraid' could be 'coward' (associated in meaning) and 'coward' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'l' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'making' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for noel coward that I've seen before include "dramatist" , "Old playwright" , "He wrote" .)
