Fictional Brinker (4)

I believe the answer is:

hans

'fictional brinker' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for hans that I've seen before include "German name" , "-- Christian Andersen, writer" , "'... Christian Andersen, storyteller (4)'" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the Universal.
