Into the Woods by John Yorke

An acclaimed exploration of storytelling and narrative structure, examining why powerful stories work and how writers build them.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a lifelong interest in storytelling and the craft behind what appears on screen. He understood that memorable performances begin with characters, dialogue and stories carefully constructed on the page, so books exploring the mechanics of writing naturally found a place on his shelves. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Written by John Yorke, Into the Woods examines the principles and recurring structures behind storytelling across film, television, theatre and literature.

Drawing on examples from classic and contemporary works, Yorke considers how narratives are constructed, why particular patterns recur and how structure helps create the emotional journey experienced by an audience.

A fascinating and practical read for screenwriters, filmmakers, novelists, students and anyone interested in understanding the craft behind memorable storytelling.
