"Number the Stars” author Lowry (4)
I believe the answer is:
lois
'number the stars author lowry' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for lois that I've seen before include "- Lane (Superman's girl)" , "-- Lane, 'Superman' character" , "Woman" , "- Lane, girlfriend of Superman" , "- Lane, Daily Planet reporter" .)
