Kid at home prepared for light work (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

the mikado

'light work' is the definition.
(light opera by Gilbert and Sullivan)

'kid at home prepared' is the wordplay.
'prepared' is an anagram indicator.
'kid'+'at'+'home'='kidathome'
'kidathome' is an anagram of 'THE MIKADO'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for the mikado that I've seen before include "Staged work" , "musical drama" , "What may be on at the Savoy" , "Eighteen eighty five G&S operetta" , "Musical work" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
