Into The Woods

This book explores the fundamentals of storytelling and why narratives share common structures. John Yorke, with his extensive background in drama, examines the universal patterns found in stories from ancient myths to modern films. He argues that all tales, regardless of their form, follow a similar journey akin to the fairytale theme of entering the woods. By analysing various narratives, he uncovers the underlying principles that shape our understanding of storytelling and its significance in our lives.
