natalie

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wood' is the definition.
(I know that wood given name Natalie)

'one in north american story' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'north american' becomes 'na'.
'story' becomes 'tale' (synonyms).
'na'+'tale'='natale'
'i' put inside 'natale' is 'NATALIE'.

'eg' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for natalie that I've seen before include "Wood perhaps" , "girl" , "Girl's name" , "female name" .)
