Knack revealed in story books (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

talent

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

'story books' is the wordplay.
'story' becomes 'tale' (synonyms).
'books' becomes 'NT' (New Testament).
'tale'+'nt'='TALENT'

'revealed in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for talent that I've seen before include "Natural ability or quality" , "money no longer usable" , "ancient coin" , "Inborn ability or facility" , "Flair, aptitude" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
