Teller of anecdotes (9)
I believe the answer is:
raconteur
'teller of anecdotes' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for raconteur that I've seen before include "Teller of anecdote" , "He's good at telling stories" , "He tells a good story" , "One can relate well" , "Skilful teller of tales" .)
