Title: Araucaria RIP Post by Sylfest on Today at 13:04 Dead at 92, the Rev John Graham. My Dad and I would work together for hours over his Guardian and Observer puzzles together when I was a kid. Araucaria was amazing, a fizzingly creative teacher of the love of words. Earlier this year he announced his terminal illness in a crossword. Yesterday lunchtime, for old times' sake I tried out his most recent puzzle on the website, and found 'nil by mouth' among the answers. Readers recall some of their favourite Araucaria clues: http://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/2013/nov/26/crossword-master-araucaria--rev-john-graham-guardian-share-your-favourite-clues?commentpage=1 |
