Original tale (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

novel

This clue is a double definition.

'original' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'tale' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for novel that I've seen before include "New; original" , "She, for example" , "Of a kind not seen before" , "Paperback" , "Interestingly new; book" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
