Letters latent: From each answer one letter must be omitted whenever it occurs before entry. Definitions refer to unmutilated answers (lengths indicated in brackets); wordplay to mutilated entries. The missing letters spell four connected items from a work; one answer (undefined) is its title. Six other clues contain an extraneous word; their initials spell its author.

Deadline for entries is 23:59 BST on Saturday 31 May. You need to register once and then sign in to theguardian.com to enter our online competition for a £100 monthly prize.
