Wee woolly one (4)
I believe the answer is:
lamb
'wee woolly one' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for lamb that I've seen before include "Noted essayist - symbol of innocence" , "essayists?" , "A follower" , "Writer" , "Charles ---, essayist; meek animal" .)
