Description & Specifications

The best book on the subject I have read. Very brilliant. - Tony Jordan, creator/writer, Life on Mars, Hustle

We all love stories. But why do we tell them? And why do all stories operate in an eerily similar way? John Yorke, creator of the BBC Writers' Academy, has brought a wide variety of dramas to British television. Here he guides us to the heart of storytelling, revealing that there really is a unifying shape to narrative forms - one that echoes the fairy tale of the journey through the forest and, like all great art, comes from our deep inner world.

From ancient myths to blockbusters, it gets to the root of the stories that surround us every day.

"Enchanted" - Julian Fellowes

"Terrifyingly clever... Full of intelligent insights" - Evening Standard

"The most important book on screenwriting since William Goldman's Adventures in the Screen Trade" - Peter Bowker, writer, Blackpool, Occupation, Eric and Ernie
