Really go crazy producing a fable (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allegory

'a fable' is the definition.
('allegory' can be a synonym of 'fable')

'really go crazy' is the wordplay.
'crazy' is an anagram indicator.
'really'+'go'='reallygo'
'reallygo' anagrammed gives 'ALLEGORY'.

'producing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for allegory that I've seen before include "Animal Farm, for example" , "Symbolic work" , "Story with symbolic characters" , "Story which symbolizes some deeper meaning" , "Its characters are personifications" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and The Irish Times.
