storyteller's
Belonging to raconteurs
Storyteller's is the possessive form of storyteller—someone who tells stories.
It indicates something belonging to or associated with a storyteller: the storyteller's voice, a storyteller's craft, the storyteller's audience.
The word applies equally to oral traditions and written narratives.
