Hide her tale another way (7)
I believe the answer is:
leather
'hide' is the definition.
(an animal hide)
'her tale another way' is the wordplay.
'another way' indicates anagramming the letters.
'her'+'tale'='hertale'
'hertale' anagrammed gives 'LEATHER'.
(Other definitions for leather that I've seen before include "Thrash" , "A tanner produces it from hide" , "kid, say" , "kid, perhaps" , "Flog; hide" .)
