Legendary logger (6)
I believe the answer is:
bunyan
'legendary logger' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for bunyan that I've seen before include "John . . . . . . wrote 'The Pilgrim's Progress'" , "Paul -, US mythic hero" , "John ... wrote 'The Pilgrim's Progres'" , "The Pilgrim's Progress author, d. 1688" , "author John" .)
