Seasons Greetings IV by Eclogue

Each set of four radial answers is to be entered as follows: one centre-to-rim, one rim-to-centre, the remaining two start at a point to be determined, proceed beyond the rim or centre and continue in the same direction from the opposing edge, one inwards and one outwards. All clues contain a misprint in their definitions. The correct letters in clue order provide a partial definition of the thematic material that can be found reading clockwise in the innermost and the first and third outer-most rings. Chambers (2011) is recommended, but does not contain three proper names.
