Told stories added by brief, regularly recalled (6)
I believe the answer is:
fibbed
'told stories' is the definition.
(telling stories can mean lying or fibbing)
'added by brief regularly recalled' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'recalled' says the letters should be written backwards.
'added'+'by'+'brief'='addedbybrief'
The alternating letters of 'addedbybrief' are 'debbif'.
'debbif' reversed gives 'FIBBED'.
(Other definitions for fibbed that I've seen before include "Told white lies" , "Told little lies" , "Told a trivial lie" .)
