Character in A Winter's Tale perhaps too farcical (10)
I believe the answer is:
apostrophe
'character' is the definition.
'a winter's tale perhaps too farcical' is the wordplay.
'perhaps too' can be anagrammed to 'APOSTROPHE'.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apostrophe that I've seen before include "Where character may be absent" , "It may be superfluous on tradesman's sign" , "rhetorical digression" , "greengrocer abuses it!)" , "detail of punctuation" .)
