Special Instructions: The wordplay in twenty-five clues indicates a superfluous letter. These letters, in clue order, give a thematic work. The remaining entries (not otherwise defined) are involved in the thematic journey.

Thanks Tangerine, that was really great fun. I love this sort of puzzle, and you've worked in the theme very nicely - despite seeming impenetrable at first (as they always do!) actually fairly accessible for the most part. Faves include 5a, 11a, 28a, 4d, 7d, 17d & 22d. Spoilers ...

That was a blast! Aside from the hidden extras, there were some very neat and left field definitions: 1a, 5a, 28a, 3d were my faves. Spoilerish remarks below

I'm quite late to this, Tangerine. SI normally give me the willies - it doesn't help that I solve electronically without pen and paper so keeping track of superfluous letters is tricky. But I am glad I gave it a go - a neat idea, well executed. 8a, 19a, 28a, 2d, 3d, 15d and 17d my picks. Thanks. PM
