Story teller in trouble over reading? (4)
I believe the answer is:
liar
'story teller' is the definition.
'liar' can be an answer for 'teller' (I have seen 'Teller of untruths' mean 'liar' so perhaps 'teller' could also mean 'liar'). I'm unsure of the 'story' bit.
'trouble over reading?' is the wordplay.
'trouble' becomes 'ail' (synonyms).
'over' is a reversal indicator.
'reading?' becomes 'r' (one of the traditional three R's of education).
'ail' written backwards gives 'lia'.
'lia'+'r'='LIAR'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for liar that I've seen before include "Fabricator" , "not straight [one]" , "Person telling stories" , "Not a truth-sayer!" , "Dishonest person" .)
