Clue: Fat … warrior at heart … criminal; a little celebrated in this country? (5,4)
Answer: FRIAR TUCK
Explanation: Fat … warrior at heart … criminal; a little celebrated in this country? (5,4)
A charade of FRIART, an anagram ('criminal') of 'fat' plus '[wa]rri[or', using only the middle three letters ('at heart') plus UCK, an envelope ('in') of C ('a little **C**elebrated') in UK ('this country', with apologies to our NZ crowd, and others, but it is, I take it, where the clue was written). A standout as by far the most complex wordplay in the crossword. The definition is a fairly detailed &lit description of the character in the Robin Hood legends.
