By John Yorke. And why do all stories function in an eerily similar way?. John Yorke, creator of the BBC Writers' Academy, has brought a vast array of drama to British screens. Even for a convinced sceptic, John Yorke's book, with its massive field of reference from Aristotle to Glee, and from Shakespeare to Spooks, is a highly persuasive and hugely enjoyable read.

About this product

Product Information

Secrets behind the structure and meaning of all stories, from the founder of the BBC Writers' Academy We all love stories. But why do we tell them? And why do all stories function in an eerily similar way? John Yorke, creator of the BBC Writers' Academy, has brought a vast array of drama to British screens. Here he takes us on a journey to the heart of storytelling, revealing that there truly is a unifying shape to narrative forms - one that echoes the fairytale journey into the woods and, like any great art, comes from deep within. From ancient myths to big-budget blockbusters, he gets to the root of the stories that are all around us, every day.
