bedtime

'sort of story' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'letter to edit specially for me' is the wordplay.
'letter' becomes 'b' (**).
'specially' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'edit' anagrammed gives 'edti'.
'b'+'edti'+'me'='BEDTIME'

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bedtime that I've seen before include "when one's due for retirement?" , "Hour to retire" , "when story comes out?" , "Lights out" , "eleven o'clock?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
