tale spinner
One who narrates
A tale spinner is someone who tells stories, especially elaborate or fanciful ones.
The term suggests a craftsperson at work, weaving narrative threads into something whole.
It can be admiring—a gifted tale spinner who kept us entertained for hours—or skeptical, implying embellishment: Don't believe him; he's quite the tale spinner.
