Country fellow with stories to tell (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

guyana

'country' is the definition.
(Guyana is an example)

'fellow with stories to tell' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'guy' (both can mean a man).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'stories to tell' becomes 'ana' (archaic term for anecdotes or gossip).
'guy'+'ana'='GUYANA'

(Other definitions for guyana that I've seen before include "South American republic" , "Country of S. America" , "Off the north coast of S. America, the capital is Georgetown" , "South American country, a British colony until 1966" , "Country E. of Venezuela" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
