A Gilbert & Sullivan Crossword

© Katherine Bryant

One of my other loves, apart from music, is puzzles. I've only just ventured into creating them (instead of just solving them), but, as my life is currently consumed by Gilbert & Sullivan (see my last column for more on that), I thought that would be an appropriate topic for a crossword. Enjoy!

(I realize the diagram is so small as to be almost illegible, but it's the largest I could make it and still include it inline. A larger, nicer version can be found here. You may want to print that diagram out and use it to solve the puzzle.)
