Reviews

Praise for Into the Woods: The best book on the subject… Yorke's analysis is superb * Evening Standard * Its strength is Yorke’s acute perception of the wellsprings of universal narrative structures relevant to all artistic activities * The Times * Brilliant -- Ken Follett While he elegantly untangles the deepest roots of storytelling, he also honours the human need for truth and sense with some more superficial questions * Guardian * Fresh, enlightening and accessible . . . a gripping read from beginning to end * Sunday Times *
