Shopkeeper, he tells stories (8)
I believe the answer is:
retailer
This clue is a double definition.
'shopkeeper' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'he tells stories' is the second definition.
(retailer can mean someone who tells stories)
(Other definitions for retailer that I've seen before include "Shop" , "Purveyor" , "Seller, shopkeeper" , "Tradesman" , "One selling to public" .)
